Dometic's 8700 Awning Hardware is purpose-built for performance in the harshest Australian conditions. Created as a Universal Awning Hardware Kit it will also suit pre-existing 8300, 8500 & 9000 Awning Barrels. Featuring a heavy-duty, powder coated aluminium construction and cast aluminium safety latches it is built to last, while the soft grip handles and five-star locking knob make is simple to use.
There are 3 sizes of 8700 awning hardware available and they can be used with your existing awning barrels if required. Matching the earlier versions they are based on the amount of space/height your trailer has available to mount the hardware. It is recommended to install the largest size that will suit your caravan.
