Verandas and awnings

How to choose awnings, awnings, and accessories for the exterior of the camper

Type of product: complete awning or accessory?

The range covers very different products. Awnings and awnings are structures that are mounted on the side of the vehicle to create a covered space. Accessories such as side walls, mats, and shower curtains expand or complete that space. Spare parts – arms, caps, profiles, pulleys – are used to restore an existing awning without replacing it entirely. Understanding which of the three areas your needs fall into is the starting point.

Compatibility with the awning model

Spare parts and accessories such as side walls and rafters are often specific to an awning model (for example Fiamma F45, F55 Pro, F65, F70, F80). Before purchasing an arm, a cap, or a sliding profile, check the exact model stamped on the installed awning. The length of the awning, expressed in centimeters or meters, is a second parameter to check, because many spare parts are sized in precise intervals.

Compatibility with the vehicle

Some accessories – in particular the additional rear curtains and adapter kits – are designed for specific bodies or fittings of vans and vans. In these cases, the reference to the vehicle model and year of production is essential to choose the correct product.

Covers for caravans and campers

The Brunner covers (Cover Design and Cover SI lines) protect the caravan or camper during prolonged stays or storage. The size is chosen based on the length of the vehicle; the sizes are indicated in meters and cover most of the most common wheelbases. A good-weight cover offers greater resistance to the elements and a longer lifespan over time.

Mats and outdoor shower curtains

The awning mats are chosen based on the dimensions of the area to be covered: the measurement must be taken considering both the depth of the awning and the available width on the side. The most common materials are extruded polypropylene and PVC, with differences in terms of weight, breathability, and ease of cleaning. Outdoor shower curtains are freestanding structures, designed for vans, vans, and campers without an outdoor bathroom, and are evaluated for stability, waterproofing, and ease of assembly.

How to find the right spare part

For Fiamma spare parts – among the most sought after in this sector – the most reliable reference is the code found on the awning label or in the original manual. Alternatively, the model and length of the awning allow you to narrow the search to right/left arms, caps, and compatible profiles. If you only have the barcode of the original spare part, you can use it directly as a search term.
