Fiamma awning help

[Rjcamper]

Ok, first outing in the van, came with awning attachments, zip on sides and front.

Brought with us to test, no instructions, just Google, pictures below. Side windows on a slant doesn't look right?? Any ideas ? Is it wrong on for van??

It can only fit one way, thought maybe sides muddled, but no....

Have taken down as the tie down kit is missing.

Any help appreciated

Looks like the awning is not fitted high enough,and can't be. With the legs raised the front fits ok but the back is baggy. If you intend to use it you can get it altered to fit by somewhere like tentvaleting services.Then with the legs slightly lower it will look better.

Thanks, does feel to long at the back as you say...

Anyone know of a similar company in Devon or Cornwall?

Fiamma make 2 heights of privacy room, you may have the taller on that fits 250 cm to 280 cm, but need the 225 cm to 250 cm one.

It does look weird, I think the answer is as post above , the variation in height they allow for is IMO too large

But I still think your windows should be rectangular in shape, yours will never be, even if lifted higher at the back

unless that’s just an illusion

Belle tents at Davidstow
From memory they make a lot of their own tents, so I'm sure minor modifications are not beyond their ability

Its an illusion, its where the back edge of the window is wrinkled if you look closely ;-)

I know you have said the sides are not muddled but IMO that is exactly what you have done. Look at the slope on the window, it is meant to roughly follow the slope of the roof. Are you sure that they are not inside out?

Edit: Sorry, ignore that, looked at Fiamma brochure and top of windows should be horizontal, sides too big for height of van.

I know what you are saying.... Thought the same, and triple checked, if I flip the longer edge will then be at the front, plus zips will be in wrong position, inside on outside ect
