You can definitely replace your 21 foot manual Dometic 8500 awning with a power awning, you will just need to get the right arms as well as the color of the awning you are interested in.
First, you will need the Solera 12V Power RV Awning Conversion Kit, and you can choose from either black or white in color:
- Black: Solera 12V Power RV Awning Conversion Kit # LC434723
- White: Solera 12V Power RV Awning Conversion Kit # LC434724
Since you already have the awning rail, you will just need the roller and fabric kit, and can choose from the color you want; each of these are 21 feet wide like you mentioned having:
- Sand Fade # LCV000266033
- White Fade # LCV000254845
- Black Fade # LCV000211531
