Loren, I have the Fiamma Pro 35 and had the "feet" nailed into the ground this last week and wind blew the foot nearest the front of the van out of the ground, twisted that aluminum support over the awning and broke that joint. Easy enough repair, but.....have you figured out how to use the supplied van-side mounts that put the feet on the van rather than the ground? I don't see how the feet can be mounted onto the van rather than the ground, but the brackets for doing so are supplied??? The poles don't seem to want to go in that direction while the top/horizontal supports are mounted in place. No instructions for application or use of these. Wondering if they are to be used by putting those brackets on boards or something and then the feet slipped in? Sure do love the shade and cooler environment the awning provides.
