Fiamma F43 Van 270 awning gap

[middle-englander]

Anybody else have one of these and have a gap when retracted near the front (as per pictures?)

The legs inside are fully stowed away so I can't quite see why but I'm thinking it's probably not good for it driving like this at motorway speeds.

Mine had that, but a few winds in and out and it seems ,to have righted itself. I think there may be an adjustment possible.

I googled it

A new Fiamma awning not winding in evenly is likely caused by misalignment in the arms, tension issues, or the fabric shifting, which can often be fixed by adjusting the end-cap plastic screws or shifting the fabric casing. Extend fully, then adjust the white plastic tension screws behind the awning arms at the shoulder to align.
Key Troubleshooting Steps:

• Adjust Arm Tension: Extend the awning, locate the white plastic adjustment screws at the shoulder of each arm, and turn them to pull the lagging side tighter, as explained in this video.
• Adjust Fabric Alignment: If one side closes first, the fabric may have shifted. Open the awning, and with help, push or pull the front bar 1/4 to 1/2 inch toward the side that is closing too early.
• Check for Obstructions: Ensure no debris is caught in the casing or on the roller tube, which can cause uneven rolling.
• Check End-Stop Piece: Use a flathead screwdriver to push the plastic end piece of the awning arm back into place if it is stuck.

We had that aswell with our F40 , it sorted itself after a few weeks of use but we fid flag it to the supplier
We also bought a velcro strap for it to hold it in tight while on the motorway

Hmm hope you can get this adjusted and working properly, I have had my f43 van for a couple of months now and it's brilliant
