The 14-foot dimension shown for the Solera 12V XL Power RV Awning # LCV000334942-362241 refers to the outside to outside spacing of the two included 78-inch-tall wall-mount vertical brackets that contain the awning support arms. The fabric canopy itself measures 13-feet and 1-inch.

Installation will require 2 of the 8-foot awning rail part # LC715216; you'll cut one down and mount the two next to each other to give you the appropriate overall length to secure the free end of the awning fabric to the outside wall of the RV.

The connected awning rails need to be at least 4-1/2-inches higher up than the top of your entry door and you will need 78-inches (6-1/2-feet) of vertical space on the RV outside wall to fit the vertical brackets.
