For a Dometic A&E 8500 manual awning, you can upgrade to a 12 volt power awning with a kit that replaces the arms. This is available in either white or black, depending on the color you want:
- Black: Solera 12V Electric RV Awning Conversion Kit - 69" Arms # LC434723
- White: Solera 12V Electric RV Awning Conversion Kit - 69" Arms # LC434724
