A & E RV Awnings - Imperial 8500 Plus
The A & E Imperial 8500 Plus Awnings have the same high quality vinyl canopies as the popular 8500. The 'weathershied' may be vinyl (white or color coordinated), or metal (see color choices below). This is the part of the awning which wraps around the rolled up awning in the travel position. The metal weathershield is now available in White, Mende White, Black, Satin, Gold or Champagne.
The universal Plus hardware not only comes in the same color selections as the metal wrap, but also incorporates a unique 'rain shed' feature. The rear awning arm is piston-loaded to automatically dump accumulated rainwater. For more information and video on this feature, click here.
A & E RV Awnings are very popular because of their great looks and long life. The Imperial 8500's heavy-duty premium vinyl canopy has the rich, vibrant color pattern on top and bottom. The dependable, easy-operating Universal Hardware is available in straight or curved models to fit virtually any vehicle.
This A & E RV Awning features:
- A & E's heaviest polyester reinforced vinyl
- Patented steel roller tube with a lifetime warranty against rust
- Patented anti-slack rafter pivot
- Smooth, effortless operation
- Exclusive PermaLoop™ pull strap
- Economical Vinyl or protective Metal weathershield.
- Newly designed hardware with 'rain shed' feature.

RV Awnings consist of two basic components (which are sold separately):
- The 'Awning' - the canopy fabric, and a complete roller tube with end springs.
- The 'Arms', or 'hardware'.
For a new installation or complete replacement you will need an 'Awning' and a set of 'Arms' (Hardware). These items are sold separately. (Awning Rail is not included) Two important measurements are needed for a proper installation.
- The length of the Awning, which is the distance between the centerline of the arms (in one foot increments), as they will be mounted on the RV. Be sure to clear windows and doors, etc. A&E roller assemblies are available in even feet lengths from 10 to 25 feet.
- The height, or length of the Arms. This is measured from the point of attachment of the awning rail (at the top), the floor line of the RV which is where the foot or bottom of the arms will be attached. 'Short' arms range from 62" - 76", and 'standard' arms are for 74"- 88".

NOTE: It is important to measure the size correctly, as Awning orders are non-cancelable, non-returnable, and non-refundable. If there is ANY doubt or question, please call our Parts Department at 800-755-4775 for assistance.
