How to fit an awning rail to a motorhome.
Here is a detailed guide demonstrating how to attach your driveaway campervan motorhome awning to your vehicle using a fiamma step by step.
Gravity and tension in the awning side wall will pull the figure 8 down onto the rail to give a secure connection.
The other side of the figure 8 is then placed over the lip of the j rail.
As an example many solera awnings require 6 inches of rail extrusion on on each side of the awning so 1 foot total.
Check your product s description or manufacturer s instructions to determine the required length.
