The brackets have been designed and tested. They are being sent to powder coating and will be back soon for installation. I will follow up with some pictures shortly.

any news on this? i would love a fiamma on the ph top.
Here are some photos of the awning on the Sprinter van with the Penthouse Top. These mounts are for use with the Fiamma F45 awning. More information on pricing to follow.
Just got the magnets today and rigged up a simple poly tarp. Works great. Easy to put up and take down. I will have to wait until there is some wind and rain to see how it holds up. To protect the paint I put the tarp in between rather than tying the tarp into the eye of the magnet.
Ordered a Kelty 9x9 tarp. Should be here by the end of the week. I will see if it is any better.
Thanks for the tip.

I picked my Sprinter with penthouse and Fiamma awning two months ago and have no problems. The brackets are holding up fine even with lots of Death Valley Washboard.
I am designing a sportsmobile sprinter on the LB chassis and am wondering if it is worth getting the awning? If you've had good or bad experiences with the awning, please let me know.
bump. Any news on the sprinter PH awning?....I was hoping I could tell santa where to get the awning for our rig on his way back to North Pole, AK
