How do you measure for the correct size for an awning replacement? I'm going to purchase a new Dometic Trimline A&E, and cannot figure out what is the correct size.

Measure the length of the rail attached to the roof side where the awning slips in. The awning must fit completely inside of the track (nothing handing over). So if its 12'6" rail, then a 12' awning... and so on.

the measurement of the rail is 11' 6" I looked up an awning http://www.rvpartscountry.com/.....oCkyLw_wcB on RV parts Country, and it states that the size of the awning is measuring the bag itself. This is where It becomes confusing. Its normally a special order item and cannot be returned. I don't want to be stuck with an awning thats the wrong size. Any suggestions?

The physical awning is usually 6 inches less than the bag size, so a 11' bag will be actually a 10'6 material canopy. It will fit fine.
