GENERAL INFORMATION
A. Application
The Horizon Case Awning is designed for use on
vehicles that cannot accept a full sized awning. It is
especially well suited for vehicles with an over cab
extension where there is not sufcient surface for a
bottom mounting bracket.
B. Position Of The Awning
1. Before beginning installation of the case, be sure
the door will open when the awning is completely
extended. Allow for at least a 15-degree pitch of
the fabric of the awning.
2. Check for a solid backing or under-structure
where screws and adapters are to be used. For
installations with mounting brackets, be sure that
all mounting brackets are secured in a very solid
manner.
3. Before drilling, be sure that there are no obstacles
inside the wall (cables, wires, gas pipes, etc.). Having evaluated the construction of the vehicle, pick
the mounting style which best ts the application.
See Figures 3 & 4.
4. Minimum clearance from bottom of case to door
is 3.00 inches.
Important: Read all of the following steps before
beginning installation.
Dometic Corporation reserves the right to modify ap-
pearances and specications without notice.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
A. Installation Using Standard Brackets
1. Determine locations of mounting brackets on side
of vehicle. See FIG. 1A , FIG 1B, and FIG 1C.
2. The left and right brackets must be mounted behind where the arms are attached. (See FIG. 1D)
The outside edge of the bracket must be aligned
with, but not protruding beyond, the edge of back
of the aluminum case. See FIG. 1A for the 8'-13'
models. See FIG. 1B for the 15' models, and FIG.
1C for the 16' models, which use 4 brackets evenly
spaced.
3. Mark the wall bracket position. Using a bracket as
a template, mark the hole locations. Pre-drill holes
using a 5/16" drill bit (use 7/32" drill bit if drilling
through steel). Install top brackets with 1/4-20 X
2"L carriage bolts, nuts and washers provided.

To prevent water leakage, always use silicon
sealant where each fastener enters the vehicle
side wall or roof.
4. If mounting area sub-structure is not solid, we
recommend using a backing plate (not provided)
C
inside the vehicle. See FIG. 2.
5. After the wall brackets are installed, using a
pencil, mark location of edges of brackets on the
wall. Draw the marks approximately 2" below the
bracket. These marks will later help you identify
the location of the brackets for installation of the
8-18 X .38" self-drilling screws.
