Fiamma awning on our Sprinter van: Worth it?
When we first started the designs for our van we were convinced that a large Fiamma F65 S side awning was absolutely essential for our travels around Australia.
But, two years later, we aren't so sure.
In this video Karl discusses our background rationale for buying and installing a high end attached awning like the Fiamma F65 S.
Karl also goes over the pros and cons of such an awning, why we would reconsider an awning in a future build, and also some alternative options for shade and shelter that are less visible, heavy and expensive.
Video chapters / points of interest:
00:01 - Awning set-up demo
00:45 - Introduction and background of our previous van and awnings
02:13 - Our experience of having a roof mounted, fixed awning
04:50 - How our Fiamma awning is attached to the roof
05:40 - Things to think about if you want to buy an awning for your van
06:13 - Alternatives to a roof-mounted, fixed awning
07:10 - Summary of the pros and cons of a Fiamma awning and alternative options
This is the Fiamma F65 S awning we have attached on our van:

And this is the awning adapter kit to suit the Sprinter roof:

PS - We only realised after uploading that the audio volume is a little low on this video due to using the shotgun mic instead of the standard lapel mic; sorry about that!
