Pull out awning (Fiama or Thule) with reimo rail and pop top??

[Deaks]

We currently have a reimo multirail and skyline aurora pop top fitted to our LWB T6.
We would like to also have either a Fiama or Thule pull out awning, but still be able to use the multirail for our drive away awning or our stitches and still sun shade.

Is it possible to do this? It looks like the standard brackets won’t do it, and the ones that use the multirail then stop you from using the rail for the drive away awning.

Thanks in advance

The pull-out awnings have a slot in which you can attach an awning.

There is some arcane process involving Kader(?) strips and figures of 8, I'm sure others will be along to explain how it works.

Hi Deaks. Did you get any progress with this? I've got the same need. I'm a bout to buy a wind out awning (Thule, F45 or F43) but really want the have the option of a C rail for the drive away awning on longer stops.

As a cheapo alternative for short stops we use a Vango Skybeam - AirBeam Sky Canopy for Caravan & Motorhomes 2.5M. Then a bigger awning with kador for drive-away stays.

We’ve got a Fiamna F45S & attach our drive away awning with a Kador strip (the Fiamma side is 4mm) & figure of 8 plastic strip. Not a perfect setup but it works easily enough

Similar to this:

4-6mm Fiamma Double Kador Bead – Camper Essentials

4-6mm Fiamma Double Kador Bead allows for the attachment of a standalone Driveaway Awning to a Fiamma wind-out awning canopy. Easy to use with Figure of 8.

You can see where it attaches in the pic below…

Is there an option to waterproof the setup?
With the (tent) awning attached to the wind out awning there is quite a big gap to the van.

I think Fiamma do a rain guard but don’t know how waterproof that makes the set up with an awning. We’ve not found it too much of an issue without one so far

We used a tent attached to the kadof strip in our Thule Omnistor awning in the rain and it worked well. It rained quite hard and no water in the tent. Our Omnistor is fitted to a Reimo Multirail
