  Product Description
These mounting brackets let you fit a Fiamma F45 awning to left-hand drive VW T5 and T6 Transporters without drilling into your van's bodywork. They're made in Italy by Fiamma specifically for these van models, using the existing roof rail mounting points to create a secure connection between your vehicle and the awning cassette. The deep black powder-coated finish matches modern van aesthetics and resists corrosion from road salt and coastal weather. Installation typically takes an hour or so with basic tools, though you'll want someone to help hold the awning in position whilst you tighten everything up.

These brackets work with standard VW roof rails found on most Transporter configurations, including panel vans converted to campervans and factory Kombi models. The design accounts for the specific roof profile and mounting positions on left-hand drive vehicles, which differ slightly from right-hand drive versions due to sliding door placement and roof pressing variations. You're getting vehicle-specific brackets rather than universal adaptors, which means proper weight distribution across the roof structure and no modifications needed to make things fit. They're compatible with all lengths of F45 awning, from the compact 260cm models up to the full 400cm versions.

Fiamma manufactures these brackets using steel with a protective coating rather than aluminium, giving them the strength needed to support an awning in windy conditions without flexing. The mounting hardware comes included, though you'll need to check your roof rails are in good condition before installation. These brackets became the standard fitting method for F45 awnings on Transporters because they preserve your van's warranty by avoiding roof penetrations, and they can be removed if you sell the vehicle. The deep black finish tends to age better than silver or white coatings in UK weather conditions, keeping its appearance after years of motorway grime and winter salt spray.

Frequently Asked Questions


Will these brackets fit my right-hand drive VW Transporter?
No, these brackets are specifically designed for left-hand drive T5 and T6 Transporters. The mounting positions differ between LHD and RHD models due to the sliding door location and roof pressing variations. You need to purchase the RHD version if you have a UK-spec right-hand drive Transporter.
Do I need to drill holes in my van roof to fit these brackets?
No drilling is required. These brackets attach to your existing VW roof rails using the factory mounting points already present on your Transporter. This method preserves your vehicle warranty and allows you to remove the brackets completely if needed without leaving permanent modifications to the roof.
Which length F45 awning can I fit with these brackets?
These brackets work with all F45 awning lengths from 260cm up to 400cm. The bracket design accommodates the different cassette widths and weight distributions across the entire F45 range, so you can choose the awning length that best suits your van and camping needs.
Are roof rails already fitted to all T5 and T6 Transporters?
Most T5 and T6 Transporters come with roof rails as standard or as a common factory option, but some base panel van models were sold without them. You need to check your specific vehicle has roof rails installed before ordering these brackets. Aftermarket roof rails can be fitted if your van lacks them, but they must be genuine VW or compatible alternatives that use the factory mounting points.
What's included with these Fiamma brackets?
The brackets come with all mounting hardware needed to attach them to your roof rails and connect your F45 awning cassette. You'll receive the pair of deep black coated steel brackets plus bolts, washers and fixings. The F45 awning itself is sold separately and not included with the bracket kit.
Can I install these brackets myself or do I need a professional?
Most people with basic mechanical skills can install these brackets using standard tools like spanners and sockets. The job typically takes about an hour, though having a second person to help position and hold the awning whilst you tighten the fixings makes the process much easier. If you're uncomfortable working at roof height or don't have suitable tools, a caravan accessory fitter or mobile technician can complete the installation quickly.
Will these brackets work with Omnistor awnings instead of F45?
No, these brackets are engineered specifically for Fiamma F45 awning cassettes. Omnistor awnings use different mounting profiles and attachment methods, so you need Omnistor-specific brackets for those models. The mounting hole positions and bracket shapes differ between the two awning systems and aren't interchangeable.
Do these brackets fit VW T6.1 Transporters as well as T6?
Yes, the T6.1 uses the same roof rail system and mounting points as the T6, so these brackets fit T6.1 models without any modifications. The roof structure remained consistent across the T6 and T6.1 production runs, even though the front end styling and interior changed between the two versions.
