You'll need the right brackets to attach it to your original fixings in the rain gutter. I think the basic Fiamma 'kit' is for a California, not a panel/multivan. Beware that if you have an awning rail already fitted you'll have to have it removed or use different brackets. Most sites selling the awnings also list the brackets, but separately. Then again, if you have it fitted for you then the installer should know what you need. A slight mod will be required because of the pop top rear hinge (at least it is on the SWB so likely the LWB will be the same). Not a major issue though.
This is the bracket for a multilane roof gutter fitting. Available from other retailers...
There are a variety of different Fiamma brackets that can be used with a pop top. I would suggest speaking to a fitter to ensure you get the right combination that suits your van setup.
As an example my setup utilises the awning rail as the fixing points for the Fiamma. The down side is that the awning rail can't now be used for anything else. No big deal for me, as the Fiamma has two slots along the length which allow you to slide in an appropriate awning rail strip or figure of eight.

We haven’t got an awning rail. This is the pop top that we have, it’s a Lowlife Stealth poptop
Hi Ann.
I'm not sure on your exact location but we are based in Glossop and supply and fit many Fiamma awnings.
Fitting takes about 2 to 3 hours. The rear bracket needs to be modified as the scissor hinge for the roof gets in the way of the bracket.
We have a full price list on our website

Please of a couple of LWB with fiamma F45 3.0m

If you go for a Fiamma F45 awning I would also recommend getting the rain strip which fills the gap between the awning and van - the size of gap varies depending on the bracket used.
I would also go for a Fiamma rafter. This provides more rigidity in windy conditions and lifts the center of the roof up so rain runs off more easilly.
Both are optional but I have found them really useful

Thank you. We’re in North Wales, so a bit far for us. At least I know now it can be done.
The rain strip is something we would want. We have fabric blind and carpet lining on the sliding door, and have to keep it shut even if it’s just light rain, as it runs down the inside of the door. The Fiamma Rafter is something to consider too. Thank you.
I can recommend AJC for Fiamma fitting as they did mine. Should you head up this way.....
Thank you for helping me spend money on something I didnt know I needed
