snowie Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 gocro - 2013-02-11 3:00 PM Have you you tried to pull back in place? Ours was ok driving 600 miles back from Spain and works fine. I've considered putting a small lip on the edge of the leading rail, but only if it occours again. Hi Gordon, I'm following up the Fiamma "kit " suggested, in correspondence with Unipart Leisure in Coventry, Fiamma dealers apparently. Van is on drive and not going anywhere at moment. I'm reluctant to do anything until I've got a response, and hopefully bits fro Fiamma, will keep forum posted alan b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you had good service from agentfiamma, same problem with awning? cheers alan b UPDATE: Unipart Leisure have sent for some bits from Italy; so they have done what I was hoping and have found a solution; I'll keep you all posted when I get the bits and see how easy it is to DIY. I also contacted Craig at agentfiamma, who was very helpful. I'll post a further update when the problem is sorted, Thanks to everyone who contributed. I hope that everyone who has had this problem manages to get it sorted. Once again this forum comes up trumps regards alan b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homenaway Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Hi, Today I emailed JohnsCross Motorhomes about the fix. They are Fiamma sellers and are at many of the shows. No reply yet. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowie Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 Thought you'd all like to know that I've been outside, put some scaffold up, and pulled the casing back into place! It was accompanied by an almighty "CRACK" like a shot from a rifle. The awning wound out and back in again with no problems so very relieved. Looking forward to seeing the bits that will stop it happening again. Hope it's the same for you if you have the problem. alan b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocro Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Following Snowie's success with Unipart, I sent them an email. They have got back to me requesting my address to send part,RESULT, I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocro Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Received the parts from Unipart(well done them) this wednesday.Two aluminium pieces about 3cm long,you have to take an end cap off to fit them,they slide along a channel of the main body and are fixed in place with stainless set screws.Only about 2cm come into contact with the cover,and thats on the back edge,I really cant see them being of much use. As it is I'm chopping the van in next friday for a Stardream so I'm leaving it for the dealer to sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowie Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 Got my clips a few days ago; and I can't see how they address the problem. I've contacted the dealer and am waiting to see how my query progresses. Not optimistic. I do now have an email @ Fiamma, so I'll maybe try that later, alan b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JudgeMental Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 But if your awning has only two fixings, one at each end, surely this contributes to the flexing..mine has 3 brackets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the clips sent by Fiamma do nothing to address the problem that I had. Not related to the fixing to the roof, alan b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
