WHITE TOP ADVENTURES® FIAMMA F45S AWNING BRACKETS

WHITE TOP ADVENTURES® FIAMMA F45S AWNING BRACKETS

At WEST COAST VANS, we know that a premium roof rack system isn’t complete without a reliable shade solution for camp days, which is why the Fiamma F45s hard-case awning is our absolute system of choice. These premium, crank-out awnings are a perfect match for our rugged, trail-ready roof racks. To make your vehicle integration completely seamless, these custom-engineered F45 Awning Brackets allow you to securely and effortlessly affix the F45S directly to your rack framework. Once these heavy-duty anchor plates are bolted onto your side rail profile, the original Fiamma F45S fixtures will seamlessly attach to the Awning Brackets without any custom modification or fabrications required. Ask Us Product Questions Anytime if you want to verify installation clearances or check compatibility with your specific van model!

WCV EXPERT TIP Because the Fiamma F45S is a rigid, heavy, hard-case awning, it can experience a massive amount of leverage and wind resistance at highway speeds or on bumpy washboard roads. Pro Tip: When mounting these three aluminum brackets along your roof rack side rail, space them out as wide as possible, placing the front and rear brackets right near the outer mechanical arms of the awning casing. Distributing the weight evenly across the rack infrastructure minimizes side-wall flexing on the trail, keeping your awning case completely quiet, secure, and rattle-free over thousands of miles.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW The White Top Adventures® Fiamma F45S Awning Brackets are a heavy-duty exterior infrastructure upgrade designed to bridge the gap between your overland rack and the industry-standard hard-case awning. Precision-cut from massive, 1/4" thick structural aluminum, these brackets provide a rock-solid mechanical connection that won't warp, twist, or loosen under heavy wind loads. Every kit arrives with three ultra-rigid brackets and premium stainless steel hardware treated with a black e-coating for ultimate corrosion defense.
