Where are you located? I have three new F45 10ft awnings in Long Beach, CA. $1300 each Or, I can also get one dropped shipped to you - $1055 plus shipping.

Outer case colors are White, Black, and Titanium

PM me if interested, thanks!

11'6" would be $1160 plus $350 shipping to Long Beach. If we can find one or two more people who want a Fiamma awning then shipping would be $200/ awning.

fwiw - the 11'6" can work on an EB but still looks out of place. It is too long for an RB. The coverage is an additional 16" in width vs the 10'2", the projection is the same at 8ft.

If you are mounting an 11'6" to an existing roof rack then there will be sufficient support. If you have a pop top and are using Z Brackets they will require drilling into the body and bolting to provide additional support. If you are thinking of using Sportsmobile's brackets for an 11'6" awning I would highly recommend against going doing that.

I have a fabricator that made these custom brackets for me for my current ARB awning

It’s extremely stable and holds the awning very well.

Is there some type / specific style to mount the Fiamma awning other than a normal bolt hole on the bracket ?

Would it be too complicated to have my fabricator make custom brackets like these to fit the Fiamma? Or if I can just use these current ones that would be the best case scenario

Sorry. I couldn’t rotate the pictures since I uploaded it on my phone! It keeps going sideways for some of them

The brackets you have would probably work w the Fiamma awning. The awning comes with three extrusion mounting pieces that can be bolted to those brackets.

Important question - What is behind the bolts that are fastening the lower tab of the bracket?

It’s a heavy duty locking washer that’s bolted through the frame of the van. That thing isn’t moving. I also had the awning open with strong winds and it hasn’t moved one bit

I might be interested in your 11’6” awning

Do you have it available in titanium?

I’m aware it’s a bit long but I wanted to cover this entire space since I plan to put an exterior sink.

The 11’6” one would go all the way to the back perfectly

(I will fix all the photos when I get to my laptop tonight )

Okay, the mounting seems sound. The rear most bracket may be a bit to far forward for the 11'6". Solutions would be to reposition or add a fourth further aft.

I will check on stock for 11'6" Titanium , I will have an answer in the morning.

Thxs!

Thank you.

Do you recommend making a 4th home in the Fiamma awning?
You mentioned it only has 3 mounting positions in the awning?
