Can't Decide - Caravanstore or F45S Awning

Post by Mark Elvin » Fri Jul 11, 2014 7:08 am

I simply cannot decide on which awning.

The Caravanstore 2.55 or an F45S.

Ours just clamps to the gutter (been on for 7 years with no problem and has been well-used in that time) but you can probably make the other brackets fit. I can buzz through some photos of how it fits if you need.

F45 is the one we have on. Brilliant! Had on for several years so easy to use. Think as long as it is a wind out one you won't regret it.

Hi, Autocraft in Chesterfield are doing a Fiamma F45 2.6m awning for £359. Would this fit onto the side of a AFT along the gutter or do i need any special brackets, many thanks for any replies Andy.

Ended up buying acFiamma F45S, grey canopy with titanium housing. I really wanted a wind out with silver coloured case. The AVA brackets were whst finally sold it to me. Mimimum fuss.
