Fiamma f45 question

[Leakylunar]

Hi maybe a daft question but do you have to wind these awnings out fully?
Or can you just wind out how far you require!
Find ours fully out is to far out for us.

 

[WillH]

No. As much or as little as suits.

You have to remember to wind back in a little once you have the legs where you want them to get some tension - took me a little while to realise that.

 

[Leakylunar]

Thanks, think ours needs a little more tension and might invest more n the central rafter.
I much prefer wind out awning n windbreak than messing with drive away awning.

We often just wind out enough to provide a "porch" when it's raining and have brackets on the side of the van which the feet lock into rather than stand on the ground.

If you extend more than halfway the central rafter is an excellent idea, helps stop flapping.

there is a minimum lenght of wind out to fit a rafter, but i cant remember what it is.
if you really want to know i coulod go out to the vAN AND MEASURE IT ///

edit: dont know what happened with the fingers there.........

IF I where to guess. I`d say 1.5M.

All good to know, thanks I’ll check once the wind dies down
