Thanks for the input. I found Van-Cafe has the Fiamma F35 8' for $400 plus unknown shipping. GoWesty only sells the F45, maybe a statement that it is better suited to more Westy Buyers or better quality. I could not find a local (discounted) source for Carefree of Colorado, which is too bad since I live in Denver. I took the strong negative opinion about the F35 and ruled it out. Even if one person thinks it is that bad, it can't be that good. I liked what I heard about the Sidewinder so I just ordered one. http://www.rvawningsonline.com/products/details.php?r=31 Free shipping in the US. The 8' awning cost $300. The brackets are crazy expensive so I didn't get them and will see what I am dealing with when the awning arrives, dropped shipped from across town. I'll have to go to Baja just to test it out. |
