Awning

• Fiamma F45S 350 awning

• Manual crank operation

• UV resistant, waterproof, and washable fabric

• Available in multiple lengths and colors

• Compatible with the Flatline Van Co. roof rack

• Extends the living space outside the van

• Provides shade and protection from sun and rain while spending time outside

• Installing the awning can be difficult for one person due to its size and weight — having a second person help is recommended

• Some Fiamma awnings can be side-mounted directly to the van if you don’t have a compatible roof rack

• The awning weighs approximately 65 pounds

• Electric versions are available to open and close the awning, but the manual crank is simple and has fewer components that could fail

• Do not leave the awning open in windy conditions

• Make sure the awning fabric is dry before storing it to prevent mold or mildew

• The awning legs can attach to the van or rest on the ground (stakes and tie-downs are available if needed)

• Fiamma

• Thule

• MoonShade – A lightweight, portable awning that can temporarily attach to vans or vehicles using magnets or suction cups

Considerations with Portable Awnings

• Requires storage space inside the van

• Takes time to set up and pack away

I don’t use the awning often since I’m usually on the move, but it’s nice to have when I want a little extra shade or protection from the weather.
