Fiamma 35F Pro Awning

[HeloEngineer]

Good afternoon all.

Just adding a bit of info really. As I couldn't find any previous comments regarding fitting 35F adapter plates to a t25 hightop. (Autosleeper)

First I bought the canopy. Thought maybe I could bolt it staight through the hightop tub. Obviously now I noticed the curve or the tub and therefore couldn't unless messed about with spacers etc. Also the window would have been in the way.

Therefore I bought the bracketry that bolts to the gutter. (note these do not fit hightops) Thinking I may get away with it some how.

I didn't get away with it too easy. However by cutting out the tub where it sits in the gutter (only 80mm x 8mm) and removing some sealant. I managed with a bit of persuasion to get the plates fitted by getting a few threads of the attachment bolt through, then using the nut to draw the bracket into position. Canopy then popped on in 5 mins.

It looks the nuts!

So hope this may help someone. It took about 45m minutes in all. (Oh and I did seal around the brackets etc)

Cheers
