Product Description

These Fiamma brackets mount F45 awnings to right-hand drive VW T5 and T6 Transporter vans. They're made in Italy and finished in deep black powder coating that matches modern Transporters, especially those with black trim or darker paint schemes. The brackets position the awning case flush against the vehicle's roof rail channel, using the factory mounting points without drilling additional holes. You'll need to check your specific T5 or T6 variant before ordering because roof profiles changed slightly across production years - pre-2010 T5s and post-2015 T6s have different channel depths that affect bracket positioning. Installation takes about an hour with basic tools, and the brackets come with stainless steel fixings rated for motorway speeds and all-weather use.

The deep black finish resists UV degradation and road grime better than standard painted brackets. Fiamma designed these specifically for the Transporter's aluminium roof channels, so they distribute awning weight properly across multiple fixing points rather than stressing one section of the rail. This matters when you're extending a 2.6m or 3m F45 in windy conditions - the brackets need to handle lateral forces without flexing. Right-hand drive vehicles have different passenger door configurations than European models, which is why these brackets position the awning roller slightly further back to clear door swing radius when fully opened. They work with all F45 variants including the F45S, F45L and F45 Eagle models, but you'll need separate adapter plates if you're fitting an older F45i.

These brackets fit the raised roof channel that runs along both sides of T5 and T6 Transporters. They don't work with California models or vans that have had aftermarket roof racks fitted over the factory channels. The black anodised aluminium construction keeps weight down to around 1.2kg per bracket set whilst maintaining the structural strength needed for an awning that extends 2.5 metres from your van. Most owners fit them to the passenger side because it keeps the awning away from sliding doors, though you can mount them driver-side if your camp setup requires it. The brackets incorporate a slight forward tilt angle that helps rainwater run off the awning fabric rather than pooling in the centre section.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these brackets fit both T5 and T6 Transporter models?

These brackets fit both VW T5 and T6 Transporter vans that have the standard factory roof rail channels. The mounting system uses the raised aluminium channel that runs along the roofline on both generations. They're designed specifically for right-hand drive vehicles, which have different door configurations compared to left-hand drive European models. Pre-2010 T5s and post-2015 T6s have slightly different channel depths, so check your roof profile before installation to confirm the brackets sit flush against the mounting surface.

Do these brackets work with California Ocean or Beach models?

These brackets don't fit California models because Californias have different roof structures and often come with factory-fitted awnings or modified roof channels. The brackets are designed for standard Transporter panel vans and Kombi variants with unmodified factory roof rails. If you've added aftermarket roof racks or cross bars over the factory channels, you'll need to remove them before fitting these brackets.

Which F45 awning models are compatible with these brackets?

These brackets work with F45S, F45L and F45 Eagle awning models in lengths from 2.6m to 4m. They position the awning case flush against your Transporter's roof channel using the factory mounting points. If you're fitting an older F45i model, you'll need separate adapter plates because the F45i has a different case profile. The brackets handle the weight and wind loading of extended awnings at motorway speeds, with stainless steel fixings rated for all-weather use.

Can I fit these brackets myself or do I need professional installation?

Most people fit these brackets themselves with basic tools - you'll need socket wrenches, Allen keys and about an hour of time. The brackets bolt into existing roof channel slots without drilling holes in your van. You'll want someone to help position the awning case whilst you align the brackets, because holding a 3m awning roller overhead whilst tightening bolts is awkward alone. Make sure you follow the torque settings in the Fiamma instructions to prevent over-tightening, which can distort the aluminium roof channels.

Why are these brackets specifically for right-hand drive vehicles?

Right-hand drive Transporters have sliding doors on the left side and different body panel configurations compared to left-hand drive European models. These RHD brackets position the awning roller slightly further back to clear the door swing radius when you open the passenger door fully. This prevents the awning case from blocking door access and positions the fabric roll-out away from where you're loading gear. The bracket angle also accounts for how UK drivers typically park - with the passenger side facing your pitch area.

What's the advantage of the deep black finish over standard brackets?

The deep black powder coating matches modern Transporters with black trim, privacy glass or darker paint colours like Indium Grey or Deep Black Pearl. Standard silver brackets stand out against black roof rails and look mismatched on darker vans. The black finish also resists UV degradation and road salt better than painted brackets, which can fade to grey or show corrosion spots after a few winters. The anodised coating is harder than paint and won't chip when you're loading roof boxes or bikes near the awning case.
