Bongo Fury

Hi everyone,Has anyone used the Ava awning brackets to fit the fiamma f45 awning....I've just recieved my awning and brackets and have noticed on the back of the awning there are three stickers showing the points where the awning should be mounted, having lifted the roof and got the tape measure out I don't think the brackets are going to match up with these points....does this really matter, I really would not want to part company with 19kg of awning on the motorway!...many thanks Paul

As the F45 is really intended to fit a longer vehicle, the standard spacing may not suit. If its anything like my F35 then the casing is the same along the whole length so you can fit the brackets anywhere you like and drill holes to suit bracket location.

Hi,Thanks for that ,feel reassured now,I have to admit to being a little surprised to how heavy it is....and that it is only secured onto the fiamma fitting kit by three M5 bolts......Thanks again.....Paul

we had the 45s on my bongo and yes we just ignored there markings and fitted where we could .

I got our van with the awning fitted but it has been fine on motorway trips, no sign of moving etc. It uses 2 brackets, one at each end - I can send you some photos via email if you like? One problem is that the rear window does not open due to the bracket overlapping but I think a bit of careful repositioning will fix that

hi everyone, thank again... definitely feel better about fitting it now! any further information that might make life easier when i come to fit it will always be gratefully received.
p.s. i'm going to use the AVA brackets.

Many thanks as always
Paul and Claire

Could swear I put some photo's up yesterday! Must have been elsewhere;

and the rear one

That's a F45Ti been on for 6 years now no problems.
