I have had a Fiamma F45ti 2.5m awning fitted to my Trooper by AutoSleepers, they do it their way - a close fitting to the body, that is not using the Fiamma brackets shown for T25 in the Fiamma catalogue. Easy wind out and in, no problems last summer and a very useful extension of space. I also bought the front and side blockers* to enclose the awning. It is a very good idea to fix the upright support poles and the blockers, if you have them, firmly to the ground to prevent wind gust damage. Fiamma say don't use the awning in rough weather and heavy rain. *Side blockers for T5 are right for T25.

Van is a 1990 Auto Sleeper Trooper. You've seen it, you had the original T25 seats from it when I replaced them.
