Oh and wouldn’t touch Fiamma with a barge pole, Thule all the way

Why, what is the difference?

 

[Olly T6]

Just had bad luck with a couple of Fiamma products which they didn’t want to know about, and had a awning fail (2 months old) and sent parts out for me to fix! Joke!
Just my personal opinion, I’m sure there are thousands and thousands of happy customers

hi, I'm a new LWB T30 owner and looking to add a Driveaway awning. Not yet settled on which awning i want as i want to establish the best awning attachment system - i have the standard roof bars and I am against drilling more holes in the van - is there a set up where i can use the roof bar mounting holes to secure an awning rail that i can subsequently attach to a Kador setup with a driveaway awning?

Thanks
Russ

You can get a simple ‘C’-rail that you can secure in the roof channel using the roof bar fixing holes. I think this may be what @Pauly has done.
As to awnings I have one for sale.
For Sale - Outdoor Revolution Movelite T4 Oxygen Driveaway Awning.

Thanks DaveyB - do you have a supplier for that? If not I will check them out. Would be interested to see @Pauly has done - any chance of a link to see?

Thanks,

Loads of places on the inter-web.
Here is one for starters
Custom Cut Length of C-Profile - C-Channel Awning Rail
Just look for awning c rail or awning c channel.

 

[Pauly]

Yes that’s what I have, it’s basically a rail strip that fixes into the existing roof channel and gives you a point to attach too
It’s low profile and can’t really be seen from the floor unless you are looking for it, can’t remember the name of the company I got mine from but will see if I can find a link

 

[Pauly]

This the one I have, turned out they are local to me so popped over and picked it up, friendly fella

VW T5 Bolt On Awning Rail - Camper Essentials

I have the SWB left side rail

 

[superflyguy]

I have the same as @Pauly , well finished and indeed a nice chap to deal with.

 

[Buster]

I have the same one, a quality bit of kit

DaveyB really like your Outwell Touring Canopy. Did you get the large or extra large? I was thinking that the large would be the right one for a SWB T6, but I think I saw somewhere that you went for XL. Also, how did you connect it to your van? New to all this, so any info much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi @Noddy996 it is the L. It has a kador strip sewn in so will connect to either a reimo multi-rail or a c-channel.

 

[Sheap]

If you need a reimo multi-rail the cheapest I could find was here: Campervan Rails & Brackets | Campervan Accessories | Camperco and you can sign up for emails and get 10% off (code was HAPPYCAMPER I think)

 

[Noddy996]

Thanks for that guys. I have got a Reimo multi-rail fitted, so will get one of the Outwell Touring
Canopy in Large pdq, as they seem to be selling out fast!
