Great quality and fairly straight forward install. Would 100% reccomend having help to install this product. Does require drilling into the outter housing of the awning, but seamlessly connects to the standard roof rack. Easy up and down with extra mounts to attach the legs to the van body if desired.
I’ve owned 3 awnings to date! Of the three awnings I owned, this is by far my favorite! First is the ease of use. This awning takes less than a minute to setup with only 1 person! Something that is just unmatched! The quality of this awning is the next noticeable feature. We’ve used this awning in almost all the element and it’s held up amazing! This is a product worth considering to add that extra touch to your van!!
Thank you so much for the review and feedback on this, Peter! We really appreciate it!
The FVC rack was a perfect fit. You do need to go buy five stainless carriage bolts, 1/4-20 - 3/4 with five 1/4-20 stop nuts. And some stainless self tap 10 by 3/4. Once you do this, it only takes 30 minutes to install.
Thanks for the review! Any hardware needed for installing to our FVC racks is supposed to be included so we're sorry to hear you were shorted - We're always happy to take care of this so we'll reach out to you directly to make sure you're all set!
Everything arrived perfectly except the Awning. I assume it’s back ordered but I haven’t been updated.
Thanks, Kevin! The awning and hardware we include will ship from Fiamma's Florida warehouse directly to you and usually takes about 2 weeks to process as noted on the page. The freight company will also call you ahead of time to schedule the delivery of the awning so you'll know exactly when to expect it! If you have any further questions you can contact us at support@flatlinevanco.com
Basically what the title states.
Because the awning is set back behind the edge of the roof, there isn't enough clearance between the bottom of the mounting bracket and the top of the van to secure the awning with the small screw. Rather, there is but it took me longer to screw in those 3 small screws than it did for me to install the roof rack.
Also, about a foot of the front of the sliding door entry isn't even covered by the awning. This means the awning can't be used at all during the rain because of gaping hole. Now I'll have to engineer a slide that the awning can attach to that locks back for travel but can slide towards the front of the van for at least a foot... or FVC can... just saying, I'd pay money for it ;)
