If you're interested, you can read my review
of the Fiamma F45 awning with photos.
The F45 model is Fiamma's higher priced one,
and is much sturdier than the manual lower
priced model, which has to be rolled up by hand.
Fiamma liked the review so much they have
a product review link from their official European
website to mine, but I don't get any kickbacks.
It was an impartial review.
Fiamma makes special brackets for the vanagon
and eurovan. Their awning is German Tüv approved.
It's the best awning that I have found, and the
easiest to set up and stash away.
All you have to do is turn the crank and lower
the legs.
The VW dealer installs a similar awning as
an option on the Eurovan, but it's more expensive.
It looks like an F45 to me.
We onced compared it at a campground with
a EVC owner's dealer-installed awning.
Having it mounted on the side is absolutely
no bother, and hasn't affected driveability
or wind noise at all. No difference in gas mileage.
