Dometic Weathershield Awning Question
Just had a Dometic acrylic fabric awning installed and noticed something after I got home with the RV.
The metal weathershield wraps up only about 3/4 of the awning on rollup and leaves about 1/4 of the fabric roll exposed. In other words, when rolled up, the metal only covers the down around to the midline of the underside of the rolled up fabric.
We once had a fifth wheel trailer with this type of awning and in my memory, the metal weathershield was hiding, and protecting, all the fabric.
It's almost as if the bundle of fabric is too big for the weathershield to completely encompass it all.
Is this just the way it is or is there some adjustment that needs to be done?
