Anyone had a Fiamma awning fitted? (1 Viewer)

[OU812James]

Looking to have a simple awning fitted to a 2019 590 T Line. Has anyone done this or have any advice/recommendations?

 

[M-J]

I would suggest somewhere professional that would accept liability should the fitting result in any water ingress.

Might help if you said where you are.
If in the south east John's Cross have a good rep and paid up members of Fun get a 10% discount.

Hello and welcome OU812James
I would check with Peter Roberts Caravans at Honley Harrogate, bought my T590 from them and they were excellent to deal with, very knowledgeable and helpful team. I didn't have an awning fitted but they fitted a Fiamma box and iNet set up etc. all neatly done.

Welcome from The Cotswolds!

Do you really need an awning…..? They cut-down on available payload…..perhaps consider having an awning rail C-channel fitted to which you could attach a caravan style awning…..
(this is me being Devil’s Advocate!)

Or a pop-up tent?

Like a Quest Screenhouse, perhaps…….?

Thanks but I’m drawn to how easy it looks to wind these attached awnings out. I will check out the weight issue though.

Having fitted a few fiamma and Omnistor (Thule) awnings to motorhomes, there is no way on earth I would let a motorhome or caravan dealership fit one. They are easy to install, but done badly will damage the van. I have seen badly drilled mounting holes, lack of support tubes leading to crushed panels and the obvious water ingress on multiple vans

I have seen them fitted at shows using unskilled labourers on day rate. 30 minutes to do an install is possible, but not if done properly

www.jeffbowenawnings.co.uk sell awnings
Prices on His website.
Tuffnells deliver them.
Fiamma and Thule awnings and the brackets.
I buy awnings from Jeff now and again, He is very helpful and usually cheaper than most places.

Just had one fitted at Alan Kerr at Paignton
If you call speak to Kerry she’s very good
They done excellent job as well

We had one and never used it does that count, haha

 

[jockaneezer]

Just looked at a picture of a T Line, the top fridge vent will be quite near the awning, I don't know if that will cause an issue or not, but maybe that's a question to ask the experts ?

We had a Fiamma 45 fitted to our Imala. No complaints, well made. Not the cheapest on the market but quality never is.

weve got one and seldom use it first gust of wind and you need to wind it in you need to peg it down and you need the extra straps we use the quest a lot more and its probably quicker to erect
