Worn, cracked, or missing awning knobs are one of those small problems that become a daily frustration. The RV Designer E353 gives you a direct-fit pair of black replacement knobs engineered specifically for Faulkner and A&E awning systems. Simple hardware, correct fit, done.
Faulkner and A&E (now Dometic) awning systems have been installed on countless RVs and travel trailers for decades. Over time the plastic knobs used to lock awning arms and tension rods crack, strip, or go missing altogether. Getting the exact stem size right matters -- a knob with the wrong bore will either spin free or won't seat, leaving the awning loose and potentially causing damage on the road.
The E353 is built around a 1/2 in. stem diameter, matching the factory hardware on these awning families. The set comes with two knobs so you can replace both sides at once and keep the rig symmetrical.
Engineered to the 1/2 in. stem spec used on Faulkner and A&E awning systems for a secure, rattle-free fit.
Two knobs per pack -- enough to replace both the driver and curb side in one order.
Black color blends with standard awning hardware and holds up to sun exposure better than unpigmented plastic.
Entire pair weighs just 0.05 lbs., adding negligible load to the awning arm assembly.
Replacing stripped or cracked awning knobs restores proper tension on the awning arms, which is critical for safe travel. Loose awning hardware can allow the awning to deploy partially at highway speeds -- a common cause of awning damage.
These knobs are designed for Faulkner and A&E awning systems using a 1/2 in. stem. A&E brand awnings were later acquired by Dometic and many components remain interchangeable. If you are unsure of your awning brand, check the label on the awning roller tube or the arm casting -- Faulkner and A&E are clearly marked.
Before installing, clean the stem threads with a dry cloth to remove road grime and old lubricant. Thread the new knob on by hand first to confirm engagement, then snug firmly -- do not overtighten, as these knobs are designed to be operator-adjusted in the field.
Not all awning knobs are interchangeable. If your current knobs use a stem other than 1/2 in., this part will not fit correctly. Measure your existing stem or check your awning model's parts list before ordering.
