lightweight bag sun awning reccomendations
my F45 is not going to fit to my Holdsworth at all easily so I'm thinking of one of those slide on a rail bag types.
Don't know where to start, any pointers of names please?
thanks

Thanks but looking for something self contained in a bag, got a sheet that goes on a rail with poles already (Khyam sun canopy)
I have seen them I'm sure but can't find them now.

Re: lightweight bag sun awning reccomendations
Very happy with my one, it's worth noting that you do need 2 people to put it up, it's a bit heavy and unwieldy for 1.

Yes it's completely covered when the roof is down, im not sure there is a way to make any fixed sun canopy theft proof.

I've fitted a tuff trek to my westfalia high top. Needed to make some brackets as comes with a bracket for a Land Rover roof rack. Great bit of kit

Re: lightweight bag sun awning reccomendations
The one I've fitted is 2.5 x 2 mtrs. I thought you were asking for other options than your fiamia

My Fiamma is a 3m F45 it's hard cased, weighs 25 kg and must go on the gutter, not only is the gutter filled by the fibreglass of the roof but the over centre roof catches would not open with it in the way.
The Fiamma caravanstore is a bag awning and only weights about 8kg and can be mounted on a rail that will screw to the pop top.
Any other bag awnings around?
can't get that tuftrek link to work.
