I checked with my contact over at Lippert and he informed me that while the Solera/Lippert awning fabrics and rollers are compatible with some Dometic awnings, the # LC338512477 is not compatible with your Dometic 8500 awning.

In order to use the # LC338512477 you would also need to replace the hardware and arms with the Solera Universal Awning Support Arms for RVs - Hybrid - 69" Arms - White # LC434728.
