Fiamma F45 Awning winder

[andythom188]

Quick question for general chat does it matter what side the winder mechanism is on a fiamma f45s awning fitted to passenger side of the van

 

[Davenjo]

Mine is passenger side with winder at the rear. Can’t see it would make much difference if it was at the front.

 

[Peatey]

Mines at the rear also i suppose if the handle is at the back it doesn't foul anything

Did the search no related question asked about what side the handle has to be

There is a discussion in the F40 thread as they were initially just LHD..

Remember it was something to di with the angle of the wind mechanism..and handle would catch body work.

Mine is on the passenger side, but just to be different the winder is at the front, (to the left as you look at the awning square on!)

No issues at all
