Fiamma F45S Awning: Mount/Store extension items

[jeff00seattle]

Hello SMB forum

Does anyone own Ford E-250 PopTop installed with a Fiamma F45S Awning.? If so, then how are these items stored or mounted within the van? Sharing a picture and/or description would be great:

1. Manual Wrench Handle
2. Extension Rod

I have recently installed on my SMB PopTop, a Fiamma F45S Awning, which I had purchased through a dealer and had installed by a custom van-conversion shop.

The awning comes with two long 4-foot items used for manually opening and stabling extended awning. They both come with attachment pieces for mounting. However, I am not sure where I should place these mounting clips within my SMB or if I should be storing them instead.

Thank you, Appreciate this forum greatly

Mine store in the window well on the drivers side. Mine is a GMC so I don't know if the window is the same.

I store both of mine on the ledge between the Pop-Top canvas and the cross bars, just behind the drivers seat.
I hold the poles together and then use a small piece of thin fabric which I wrap around the length of the two - do this more as a precaution to guard against any possible rubbing & wear that may occur on the canvas over time from the top being raised & lowered.
