EXCELFU RV Awning Rafter Slider Assembly 2-Pack for Dometic/A&E 8500-9000 — Aluminium/Zinc with Steel Pins

EXCELFU 2-pack awning rafter rivet slider assembly replaces worn sliders on Dometic and A&E 8500/9000 RV awnings so your canopy arm regains stable support and smooth operation.

If your camper’s awning droops, squeaks, or won’t hold tension after wind or long use, this replacement slider kit restores the connection between the rafter and the arm without needing a full awning replacement. The kit includes two aluminum/zinc alloy slider bodies and two steel pins designed to match part number 830463P, giving a durable, cost-effective repair that fits many common RV awning systems.

How will this slider kit fix a sagging or loose awning?

Worn or broken sliders let the rafter move out of alignment and lose tension, causing sagging and unstable operation. Replacing the slider and pin restores the intended pivot point and structural support so the arm holds the fabric taut when extended and folds properly when retracted.

• Direct replacement for part number 830463P used on Dometic and A&E 8500/9000 awnings
• Two slider bodies and two pins included for paired-arm repairs
• Restores correct pivot position to re-tension the canopy

What materials and build features make this a long-lasting repair?

The sliders use a combination of aluminum and zinc alloy for corrosion resistance and low weight, while the mandrel-style steel pins provide shear strength where the parts connect. That mix helps resist outdoor elements and repeated opening/closing cycles so the repair lasts through seasons of travel.

• Aluminum/zinc alloy slider bodies for durability and corrosion resistance
• Thick steel mandrel pins for robust mechanical connection
• Precision fit to reduce wobble and extend awning life

How difficult is installation and what tools are needed?

Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic DIY and a drill. You remove the old rivet, align the new slider assembly with the arm holes, then secure the supplied pin; no specialist tools or on-site welding required.

• Drill to remove the existing rivet
• Align new slider assembly with arm holes and insert steel pin
• Apply pressure to seat the pin and confirm grooved side faces upward

Will this slider fit my RV awning model?

This kit is engineered to match common awning support arms used by Dometic and A&E 8500 and 9000 series, and it replaces part number 830463P. Before buying, visually confirm the slider shape and hole spacing on your existing part to ensure a proper match.

• Compatible with Dometic and A&E 8500/9000 awnings
• Intended as a direct replacement for 830463P-style sliders
• Inspect your current slider’s dimensions and grooves before installation

If you have a Dometic or A&E 8500/9000 awning showing play at the rafter connection or a missing/broken slider, this EXCELFU 2-pack gives the parts and strength needed to get your canopy functioning safely again.
