Questions on installing a Fiamma awning on the Westy. I noticed that there is at least 2 different ways of installing the Fiamma. GOWESTY brackets are drilled and screwed to the vehicle while VanCafe is bolted to the vehicle. Does anyone have experience which bracket is better? Is the difference more stability than the other? I have a lot of rough roads out here and didn't want the awning to fly off when driving, etc. Laters, Dennis Dennis Jowell Scotch Hollow Farm Newbury, Vermont > On Nov 14, 2015, at 3:18 PM, Rocket J Squirrel <camping.elliott@GMAIL.COM> wrote: > >> On 11/14/2015 11:30 AM, Stuart MacMillan wrote: >> It was a clear, sunny day at a coastal campground, well away from the beach, >> where It's always breezy.
