Fiamma Safari/Privacy Room - Size When Packed?

Post by digitalgypsy » Tue Jul 23, 2013 1:05 pm

Hello all,
I'm taking my Bongo in for a full conversion tomorrow at NMA Cars. They have a spare Fiamma (I think maybe F45) awning going which I could probably get at a good price so I'm tempted.

Does anyone know how portable the Fiamma Safari Room is? I mean the side and front panels which make a tent when you attach them to the rollout awning. If they were portable then I would probably buy the awning.

Thanks for help as always :)

the mrs has one that she fits to her f45, they are good, and flexible to use. they are well made/expensive, and therefore quite heavy but fold up fairly well.

tip of the week-------check to see how far the awning pulls out and that the room is the correct size for it. 8) :wink:

I had one a long time back, but the side panels were very bulky and heavy. Used it once and realised I needed a drive-away awning instead.

Thanks for feedback guys. Converters were rushed off their feet today so didn't even have time to discuss Fiamma. Think I've decided against it any way, your feedback helped :)

The people mentioned in this thread also do this kind of stuff for awnings.
Might be worth giving them a ring.
