Dometic™ A&E 3312487.030U RV Power Awning Left Arm Hardware - Basement - Black

This is the left side awning arm hardware for the use with Dometic 9100 or 9200 Power Awnings. The extension arm is a crucial component of an RV awning system, as its function is to provide support and tension to the awning fabric, ensuring that it remains taut and stable during use. The extension arm mounts to the RV sidewall and extends outward to support the awning fabric roller tube assembly. When the awning is extended, the extension arm helps to support the weight of the fabric and prevent it from sagging or flapping in the wind. It also provides a stable base for the awning, allowing you to enjoy shade and protection from the elements in comfort.

• Compatible with 8952001 and 8962001 Series Awning Arm Hardware Systems
• Basement Style: Designed to be shorter for RVs with a basement storage
• Adjustable Pitch: Adjust the arm pitch for protection from the weather
• Gas Strut Support: Equipped with superior awning support

The pitch adjustment feature of the awning can help to provide better shade or protection from the sun, especially during the morning or late afternoon when the sun is lower in the sky. It can also help to prevent rainwater from pooling on the surface of the awning. To adjust the pitch of the awning, you loosen the knob located on the adjustable arm to move the arm up or down to change the angle of the awning. After you have set the pitch to the desired angle, you can tighten the knob to secure the arm in place.

The replacement arm is equipped with a gas strut designed to provide tension and support to the awning when it is extended. The gas strut creates tension on the awning and helps to keep it in place, even in windy conditions. Additionally, it helps to distribute the weight of the awning and prevent stress on the extension arm and other parts of the RV.

The basement style awning arms are designed for RVs with a basement storage area or other obstruction below the awning preventing the use of standard arms. They come with shorter lengths for both the back channel and front channel. These design adjustments result in a 31-3/8" drop of the awning when extended.
