  Product Description
The Dometic PowerRoof PW1000 tension rafter is a support pole designed to keep your motorhome awning fabric taut and prevent sagging. This accessory fits PowerRoof models PW1000, PW1500, PR2000 and PR2500, but only those with a 2.5m projection. It's particularly useful during wet weather when water pooling becomes a concern, or in windy conditions when the fabric needs extra stability.

This tension rafter works exclusively with Dometic PowerRoof PW1000, PW1500, PR2000 and PR2500 models that have a 2.5m projection. The pole won't fit 2m or 2.75m projections, so you'll need to check your awning's extension measurement before ordering. The 2.5m specification refers to how far your awning extends out from the vehicle wall.

Installing the tension rafter gives you extra peace of mind when leaving your awning out for extended periods. The pole extends from the mounting point to the front roller tube, creating a pitched roof effect that helps rainwater run off rather than collect on the fabric. This reduces the risk of fabric damage from water weight and keeps the material from flapping noisily in the wind.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this tension rafter fit my Dometic PowerRoof with a 2m projection?
No, this tension rafter is designed exclusively for 2.5m projection awnings. It fits Dometic PowerRoof models PW1000, PW1500, PR2000 and PR2500 only when they have a 2.5m extension. If your awning has a 2m or 2.75m projection, this rafter won't be compatible with your setup.
How does a tension rafter prevent water pooling on my awning?
The tension rafter creates an angled support from your vehicle to the awning's front roller tube, pitching the fabric so rainwater runs off naturally rather than collecting in the centre. This keeps tension on the material and prevents the sagging that leads to dangerous water accumulation, which could damage or rupture the awning fabric under weight.
Can I use this tension rafter on other awning brands?
This tension rafter is specifically engineered for Dometic PowerRoof models PW1000, PW1500, PR2000 and PR2000 with 2.5m projections. The mounting points and dimensions are designed for these exact models. While universal tension rafters exist for other brands, this particular component is made for Dometic's PowerRoof range and won't have the correct fitment for other manufacturers' awnings.
Do I need special brackets to install this tension rafter?
Dometic PowerRoof awnings with 2.5m projections typically have built-in mounting points for tension rafters. The pole is designed to attach to these existing connection points on your awning without requiring additional brackets. Check your awning model's manual to confirm the mounting points are present before installation.
Why is the 2.5m projection measurement important for this tension rafter?
The 2.5m projection determines the length and angle of support needed for proper fabric tension. This rafter is manufactured to specific dimensions that match the geometry of a 2.5m extension from the vehicle wall to the front roller tube. Using it on 2m or 2.75m projections would mean the pole is either too long or too short, resulting in improper tension or installation issues that could damage your awning.
