The Fiamma F80S wind-out awning represents the latest evolution in roof-mounted shade solutions for campervans and motorhomes. Built with an extra-strong extruded aluminium casing, the F80S delivers a 20% slimmer profile than the outgoing F65S model while maintaining structural strength. The compact design follows modern vehicle contours more closely, creating a sleeker appearance when stowed. Available in seven sizes from 290cm to 450cm, each F80S provides between 5.6m² and 10.8m² of shade coverage, with larger models from 400cm upwards including a centre tension rafter as standard.
The F80S ships without mounting brackets because campervans and motorhomes require vehicle-specific fixings that match their roof profiles and construction dates. More than 40 different bracket kits are available to fit Fiat Ducato, Peugeot Boxer, Citroen Jumper, and other base vehicles produced before and after 2006, when roof designs changed significantly. The triple guide system on the lead bar accepts two front panels simultaneously alongside other accessories, whilst dual LED housings in both the case and lead bar accommodate optional full-length lighting strips. Extra-strong articulated arms feature double steel cables for optimal canopy tension, and the secure lock system allows height adjustment through telescopic legs that fix to the ground or wall.
The awning operates using a manual crank handle with a winding mechanism, offering reliability without electrical complications. Casing colours include Polar White, Titanium, and Deep Black, whilst canopy fabrics come in Royal Grey or Royal Blue. The F80S replaces the discontinued F65S, though existing F65S brackets and enclosures remain compatible with the newer model. Weights range from 27kg for the smallest 290cm version to 36.5kg for the 450cm model, making professional installation advisable for optimal waterproofing and bracket security.

Frequently Asked Questions
The F80S requires vehicle-specific bracket kits that match your motorhome or campervan's exact roof profile, construction method, and production date. More than 40 different bracket options exist for various base vehicles including Fiat Ducato, Peugeot Boxer, and Citroen Jumper, with different kits needed for models produced before and after June 2006 when manufacturers changed roof panel designs and fixing point locations. Vehicle height variants including H2 standard roof and H3 high roof also require specific bracket geometries to match roof curvature angles. Separating brackets from the awning ensures you get the precise fixing kit for your vehicle's make, model, year, and height specification. Most bracket kits include bonding adhesive, fixing bolts, and template guides for accurate positioning.
The F80S features a 20% slimmer profile measuring 18cm in height compared to the F65S, whilst maintaining structural strength through extra-strong extruded aluminium construction with reinforced end caps. The reduced cross-section improves aerodynamic performance and fuel efficiency during travel. The F80S introduces a triple guide system on the lead bar allowing two front panels plus additional accessories to be fitted simultaneously, whereas the F65S accommodated one panel at a time through its double guide design. Dual LED housing positions are integrated into both the case and lead bar on the F80S, providing channels for optional lighting strips along the full awning length. The reinforced arms on the F80S are wider with double steel cables replacing single cable systems, providing improved canopy tension. Aluminium end caps on the F80S replace the plastic components used on some F65S models, offering greater impact resistance. Both models share compatibility with existing F65S brackets and many enclosure accessories.
The F80S is designed with pre-positioned housing to accommodate Fiamma Motor Kit options at any time after initial installation. Three motor variants are available depending on your control preferences. The Motor Kit Compact provides basic electric operation with a simple switch. The Motor Kit Plus includes wireless remote control functionality allowing operation from inside the vehicle or nearby, with range typically extending to 10 metres. The Motor Kit Advanced offers smartphone app integration, programmable open-close positions, and wind sensor compatibility for automatic retraction during adverse weather. All motor kits retrofit into the existing winding mechanism housing by connecting to your vehicle's 12V electrical system. Manual operation remains possible even with a motor kit installed, providing a backup method if electrical power is unavailable. Motor kits draw approximately 8 to 12 amps during operation.
Match the awning length to your vehicle's usable roof length and door position. The F80S 290 and 320 suit L2 wheelbases up to 5416mm overall vehicle length, typically providing coverage from the sliding door area towards the rear. The F80S 340 and 370 fit L3 wheelbases up to 5998mm, offering extended shade coverage suitable for larger living areas and kitchen galleys positioned mid-vehicle. The F80S 400, 425, and 450 accommodate L4 and large wheelbase vehicles above 6363mm, often used on A-class motorhomes and larger panel van conversions with rear lounges or bedroom areas. Measure from your preferred mounting position ensuring the awning sits at least 15cm away from roof-mounted solar panels, satellite dishes, roof lights, or exhaust vents when fully retracted. Models 400cm and above include a centre tension rafter as standard which provides additional structural support for larger canopy areas. Larger awnings add 27kg to 36.5kg to roof weight.
Close the F80S only when the canopy is completely dry and clean to prevent mould stains and mildew growth between the fabric layers. If you must close the awning whilst damp, reopen it within 12 hours maximum to allow thorough drying, preferably within 6 hours if conditions allow. Clean surface dirt using plain water with a soft brush or microfibre cloth, working from top to bottom. For heavier soiling like tree sap or bird droppings, add neutral pH detergent such as Marseille soap or dedicated awning cleaner diluted according to manufacturer instructions. Reproof the canopy annually using specialist awning waterproofing spray applied to clean, dry fabric. Waterproofing treatments restore the water-repellent finish that degrades through UV exposure and cleaning. Lubricate moving parts including arm hinges, telescopic leg adjustment mechanisms, and winding mechanism gears every six months using silicone spray or light machine oil. Inspect bracket bolts and fixings every three months during regular use, particularly after the first 500 miles following installation when brackets settle into position.
The F80S is designed primarily as sun protection and performs best in calm to light wind conditions below 15 to 20 mph [web:26]. For temporary shelter during light rain with wind speeds below 15 mph, lower one telescopic leg by 10 to 15cm to create a drainage angle allowing water runoff. Always fit the centre tension rafter when using the awning in any rain conditions, as this prevents water accumulation. The rafter is supplied as standard on 400cm models and above, available separately for smaller sizes. Secure legs to the ground using the supplied steel pegs, and consider Fiamma Tie-Down straps or Tie-Down S kits for additional anchorage in exposed coastal locations or hilltop pitches. Awnings protruding more than 100mm from the vehicle outline must be recorded per DIN 75303-2019 regulations. Monitor weather forecasts and close the awning when conditions deteriorate or when leaving your pitch unattended.
The triple guide system on the F80S lead bar accepts multiple accessories simultaneously. Side W Pro panels attach to the left and right guides, creating windbreaks that block lateral breezes and provide privacy from neighbouring pitches. Blocker Pro windbreaks offer similar protection with different attachment methods suited to various ground conditions. Privacy Room enclosures zip onto the lead bar and side panels, creating fully enclosed spaces suitable for outdoor dining or additional sleeping quarters, with sewn-in groundsheets and mesh ventilation panels. Sun View side extensions add extra shade coverage beyond the standard canopy width. The dual LED housing positions accommodate the Kit LED Strip Awning for full-length illumination, comprising a 5-metre adhesive LED strip powered by 12V connection. Awning Arms LED provides targeted lighting at specific positions. Tie-Down kits and Tie-Down S provide ground anchorage using adjustable straps and steel pegs. The Kit Telescopic Rafter Arm and Magic Rafter options add structural support between the vehicle roof and lead bar. Privacy Ultra Light enclosures create enclosed living spaces using lightweight ripstop fabric with large windows and door panels. The Kit Rain Guard prevents water ingress at mounting points where bracket fixings penetrate the roof. Patio-Mat and Patio-Mat Light breathable groundsheets are available in sizes precisely matching awning lengths from 290cm to 450cm. Front panel options include Clear View panels for weather protection whilst maintaining visibility, or solid fabric panels for complete privacy and shade.
