Adding a driveawy awning to a Fiamma f35
Posted: Sat Apr 22, 2017 4:05 pm
I've looked though old threads and cant find what I need.
I have a Fiamma f35 pro 2.5m wide, I wish to add a driveaway awning (width 2.8m)
the awning brackets interfere with using figure of 8 on the gutter.
I've tried Kador strip (4x6) but does not fit in the thin channel at the top rear of the fiamma.
also using the t3 brackets would require leaving the strip attached.
There is not a channel under the lid like the omnistore.
what other options have been used with this configuration?
Have considered custom straps to the roof loops (swmbo needs to get busy)
Tying guyrope was quick and easy, undoing it less easy.
Using a pole with fabricated P hooks on rear of box also concidered.
must be an easier way
Current thinking is to use a rail fixed to 4 brackets (above cassette) that are in turn bolted to the back of the Fiamma (using the same slot as the current mounting brackets

some one must have done this before, have I missed something.
