Fiamma Awning

The F35 Zip Fiamma awning which I order 2 weeks ago turned up today. The brackets I ordered allow the awning to be bolted to the Thule roof bars I have on my VW T4 and means it can be easily removed. I'm going to use nuts rather than the quick release knobs as I thinks its a little to easy to remove. The normal brackets require that you drill holes in the side of a T4 which I didn't want.

They didn't fit perfectly though as they are designed for square bars and the bars on my T4 are oval shaped as they are aero bars. I intend to modify the brackets slightly at the weekend to obtain a better fit.

It does look a bit like a plumbers van now but it looks good when its rolled out and blocks the sun effectively. I also have the sides and front which zip onto the awning to make it a room and will take some pictures at the weekend when I try them out for size.
