Hi all,
I've just picked up an f45 awning that I want to fit to my van, and have almost had a stroke when I saw the cost of the fiamma brackets!
Can anyone suggest an alternative? Looking for something to fit in to the gutter to avoid any drilling.
Thanks
Andrew

Re: Alternative fiamma brackets
You need the proper brackets IMO.
Imagine this thing falls off on a motorway and kills somebody?
Only other alternative I can see is attaching it to roof bars on a tin top with decent brackets would I think be safe enough, but hanging it off a gutter on one side needs careful engineering design.

If you have a height top, mount it straight to the hitop with spreader plates within.
