The Fiamma F40 Van Awning is a roof-mounted awning designed specifically for campervans and minivans like the VW T5, VW T6, Ford Transit Custom, Mercedes Vito, Renault Trafic, and Vauxhall Vivaro. It features a Deep Black aluminium case box with a Royal Grey waterproof fabric that extends 150cm-225cm from the van, covering 2.9m² up to 5.8m². The awning uses low-profile adapter brackets that attach to pre-existing fixing points on your vehicle, so there's no drilling required into the bodywork. Weighing 17-19kg, the F40 is operated by a left-side winch and is designed to be easily removable when you need to take it off. The awning case measures 210-270cm in length with a fabric width of 199-257cm, dependant on your selection.
The F40 sits at a reduced height on your van roof thanks to the lowered bracket design, giving a more aerodynamic profile compared to larger awning models. The reinforced arms feature a unique Arms Reverse System with a -5 degree corner opening, meaning the lead bar sits higher than the case box when opened. This design keeps the awning out of the way when using your side door. The flat legs have controlled and predefined opening for stability, whilst the single guide rail on the front bar lets you attach accessories like privacy screens or additional panels.
Installation requires the brackets to be purchased separately for your specific vehicle model, as each bracket is designed to fit the factory fixing points on Ford Customs, Mercedes Vitos, Renault Trafics, and VW T5 and T6 Transporters . The awning should only be installed on standard roof variants without pop-tops, so it's not suitable for vehicles like the VW California. If your van has a factory-fitted C-rail, you'll need to remove it and position the brackets in the set fixing points. The F40 Van Rain Guard Kit is available separately to improve wind resistance and prevent water ingress between the bracket and vehicle roof.

Frequently Asked Questions
The F40 Van Awning fits VW T5 and T6 Transporters, Ford Transit Custom, Mercedes Vito, Renault Trafic, and Vauxhall Vivaro models. Each vehicle requires its own specific adapter bracket kit that attaches to the factory roof fixing points without drilling. The awning is only suitable for standard roof variants and cannot be fitted to vehicles with pop-top roofs, including the VW California.
No, the mounting brackets are sold separately and are vehicle-specific. You need to purchase the correct F40 Van Adapter Bracket kit for your particular van model. This ensures the brackets align perfectly with your vehicle's pre-existing roof fixing points. The separate bracket system allows you to remove the awning quickly when needed whilst leaving the brackets in place.
No drilling is required. The F40 Van low-profile adapter brackets attach to the pre-existing factory fixing points on your campervan roof, which are the same mounting points used for roof bars. This makes installation straightforward and reversible without damaging the vehicle bodywork. However, if your van has a factory-fitted C-rail, you'll need to remove it first and position the brackets in the set fixing points.
The F40 Van Awning provides 5.8 square metres of shade coverage. The case measures 270cm in length, whilst the canopy fabric extends 225cm from the vehicle side and has a fabric length of 257cm. This gives sufficient coverage for a seating area beside your campervan without being overly large for smaller vehicles.
The Arms Reverse System features a -5 degree corner opening that positions the lead bar higher than the case box when the awning is deployed. This design maximises the height under the awning and prevents interference with your side sliding door when opening or closing it. The reinforced arms have flat legs with controlled and predefined opening angles for stability.
The F40 features reinforced arms and low-profile brackets designed to reduce wind resistance. Ground anchoring hooks are provided to secure the legs, and an optional Tie-Down kit is available for extra stability in exposed locations. An additional F40 Van Rain Guard Kit can be purchased to improve wind resistance and prevent water ingress between the bracket and vehicle roof. However, you should always retract the awning in strong wind conditions as per manufacturer guidelines.
The F40 Van Awning weighs 19kg and is designed for quick installation and removal from the mounting brackets. Whilst the brackets remain fixed to your roof, the awning case slides onto and off the brackets without tools. This is a two-person job due to the 270cm length and weight, but the process takes only minutes once you're familiar with the system.
The F40 Van has a single guide rail on the front bar that accepts various Fiamma accessories including the F40 Van Privacy Room enclosure, front panels, side shades, and LED lighting strips. The F40 Van Rain Guard Kit improves weather protection at the mounting point. Optional Tie-Down straps provide additional anchoring in exposed locations. All accessories are sold separately and designed specifically for the F40 Van system.
The VW California features a pop-top elevating roof, and the F40 Van Awning is not compatible with any pop-top roof variants. The awning brackets and case positioning would interfere with the pop-top mechanism and operation. The F40 is designed exclusively for standard fixed-roof vans. VW California owners should look at alternative awning solutions designed specifically for pop-top vehicles.
The F40 Van is roof-mounted with low-profile brackets and available in 270cm length, whilst the F45 is side-mounted to the vehicle wall and available in lengths from 190cm to 550cm. The F40 uses the Arms Reverse System for maximum door clearance and sits at a reduced height, making it more aerodynamic for campervans. The F45 suits larger motorhomes and offers more size options, but projects further from the vehicle side.
