  Product Description
This bracket kit lets you mount a Fiamma F43 awning directly onto VW T5 and T6 Multivan models with left-hand drive configuration. The powder-coated deep black finish matches the standard roof rails and trim found on these vans, keeping everything looking factory-fitted rather than obviously aftermarket. Fiamma manufactures these brackets in Italy specifically for the Multivan body shape, which sits slightly different to standard panel vans due to the elevated roofline and window configuration. You'll need this exact kit if you're fitting an F43 awning to a Multivan – standard T5/T6 brackets won't work because the mounting points and roof profiles don't line up properly.

The brackets work with both short and long wheelbase Multivans from the T5 generation (2003-2015) through to T6 models (2015-2019) and T6.1 variants (2019 onwards). They're designed to bolt through existing fixing points without drilling new holes into your roof, which matters if you're concerned about warranty or water ingress issues. The deep black coating isn't just cosmetic – it's a corrosion-resistant finish that holds up better than bare aluminium when you're dealing with road salt and coastal environments. Each kit contains all the mounting hardware and spacing washers needed for a secure installation, though you'll want to double-check your vehicle's handbook to confirm it's actually a Multivan variant rather than a Transporter or Caravelle, since Fiamma produces different brackets for each body type.

Installation typically takes two people about an hour if you've got basic tools and can follow the supplied instructions properly. The brackets sit flush against the roof rails and create a stable platform for the F43 awning cassette, distributing weight evenly across multiple fixing points rather than relying on a single anchor. This matters when you're pitched up in wind, since VW roofs are aluminium and can flex more than you'd expect if the load isn't spread correctly. The kit works with all F43 awning lengths from 2 metres up to 4 metres, though you'll obviously need longer brackets or additional support if you're going above 3.5 metres. Make sure you've actually got a left-hand drive Multivan before ordering – right-hand drive vehicles need a different bracket configuration because the roof profile and door positions are mirrored.

Frequently Asked Questions


Will these brackets fit my right-hand drive VW Multivan?
No, these brackets are specifically designed for left-hand drive Multivan models. The mounting points and roof profile differ between LHD and RHD vehicles because the door positions are mirrored. You need to order the RHD-specific bracket kit for right-hand drive vans, which Fiamma manufactures as a separate product with different part numbers.
What's the difference between Multivan brackets and standard T5/T6 brackets?
Multivans have a different roofline and window configuration compared to standard panel vans, Transporters, and Caravelles. The elevated roof section and larger side windows mean the mounting points sit in different positions. Standard brackets won't align properly with Multivan roof rails, and forcing them to fit can crack the roof lining or create water ingress points.
Do I need to drill holes in my van roof to fit these brackets?
No, these brackets attach to existing roof rail fixing points on the Multivan. Fiamma designed them to use the factory mounting locations, which means you're bolting through existing threaded inserts rather than drilling new holes. This keeps your warranty intact and prevents potential water leaks from incorrectly sealed drill holes.
Will these brackets work with my Fiamma F45 or F65 awning?
No, these brackets are engineered specifically for the F43 awning cassette design. F45 and F65 awnings have different cassette profiles, mounting hole spacing, and weight distribution requirements. Each Fiamma awning model needs its own corresponding bracket kit because the attachment points and structural loading are different.
Are these brackets compatible with T6.1 Multivans from 2019 onwards?
Yes, T6.1 Multivans use the same roof rail configuration and mounting points as T6 models. VW kept the structural roof design consistent across the T6 and T6.1 generations, so these brackets fit all Multivan variants from T5 (2003) through to current T6.1 models, provided they're left-hand drive specification.
What length F43 awning can these brackets support?
The bracket kit supports F43 awnings from 2 metres up to 4 metres in length. For awnings longer than 3.5 metres, you should consider additional intermediate brackets to distribute the weight more evenly across the roof, particularly if you camp in exposed locations where wind loading becomes a concern.
Can I install these brackets myself or do I need a professional fitter?
Installation is straightforward if you're comfortable with basic hand tools and can follow technical instructions. You'll need a second person to help position the brackets and hold the awning cassette during fitting. Most owners complete the job in about an hour. The critical part is ensuring the brackets are level and torqued to the correct specification, which prevents stress concentrations that could crack the roof rails over time.
Why are these brackets deep black instead of standard silver aluminium?
The deep black powder coating matches the standard roof rails and trim on modern VW Multivans, giving a more integrated appearance. The coating also provides better corrosion resistance than bare aluminium, which matters if you regularly drive in coastal areas or winter conditions where road salt is present. The finish holds up better against stone chips and general wear compared to anodised aluminium.
