|
|
After years of searching I finally found a source for the end caps for my old 1987 Dometic awning.
After emails with customer service at Dometic I learned that Dometic no longer carries them. But they were able to give me the part numbers!
Here is a pic of my awning deployed.
The model number info on the inside of the case.
The broken end caps held together with velcro straps.
And here is the email from Dometic.

Good morning. I have added below the part numbers. We no longer have them. I would suggest looking around online for those parts.

Buy spares!
I had a broken piece on my Fiamma. I was able to get parts, but they do change over the years, Since it was a leg fold-out piece and essential to awning use, I bought a replacement and spare for the left and right.
Bought
spare end caps as well, as they have to be removed to replace these parts and it seems like breaking one would be well within my skill set. _________________ John - 86 Wolfsburg Westfalia "Weekender"

Yours is the Catalina model, which replaced the Dometic/A&E Trans-Awn 2000, which uses completely different end caps. I amended the topic title to reflect this.
If anyone is looking for Trans-Awn parts, head to the Trans-Awn topic for all the info: https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=443718 . _________________ ~Kamz

I would make a mold of them using fiberglass so you can have the possibility of re-making one in the future. _________________ This free advice is worth exactly what you paid for it.
