Stealth Awning

Post by Velocette » Mon Sep 17, 2012 1:23 pm

I have tried a couple of searches so sorry if the answer is already here somewhere?

I seem to remember somebody saying that it was possible to fit a (albeit small) caravanstore awning completely out of sight under the AFT or did I misunderstand a post about it being fixed under the AFT and hanging outside in its bag?

If it can park under the AFT, are walls available for that size?

I think it was a Fiamma CaravanStore awning and the fixings were under the AFT which meant it was securely locked in place with the roof down. I think you'd struggle to get anything bigger than roller blind concealed under the AFT :).

Is this what you were thinking of? Nice and easy to fit and easily removable, and the awning is a lot cheaper also.

Yes, that would be the one. What exactly is it listed as by Fiamma, is it the Lightweight awning?

would I need to get brackets welded to the awning rail?
