FUBARed Fiamma Awning

[Obiwonkeyblokey]

A few weeks ago our Fiamma Zip awning started to jam and steadily got worse, not closing properly. I tried to adjust it as per the online instructions without any luck and now a local motorhome dealer has told me that its not working and will need replacing to the tune of about £1400! we have the safari room which tacks on as well but clearly not happy about this cost.

Has anyone else had this issue and do you know of anyone capable of repairing them? Im reluctant to scrap the awning on the basis that most of it including the fabric is in great nick as its only 4 years old!

Any advice to a cheaper fix appreciated. For now i'll remove it leaving the bracket and think about spending the money in the spring.

Thanks,

Hi Bill. Hope you're well mate

Zip is a reference to the model of fiamma awning.

The fault lies I think with the mountings and/or the joisty springy things

I think that the people with the van must have quoted for the safari room as well. Ive managed to find a 3.5m Zip canopy for £450 delivered, so I think we will have to go for that. bugger.

and I sold the broken one on ebay for £150 so not all bad!
