I had a new Fiamma awning installed at Great Lakes Caravans, Nabiac, the other week (after an altercation with a power pole which didn't do my previous awning any favors). While I waited for the job to be done, I wandered around looking at vans, motorhomes and slide-ons. One used slide on with a pop top for about $15,000 was very nice inside, with micro and other goodies, but it had no side storage bins like my old Winabagel does. Instead it had a flat floor from side to side. I much prefer the storage.

I don't have a recent pic of the awning in full bloom, Bill, but here's a link to pics of the awning spilled out all over the footpath after the altercation with the power pole (with captions so you'll know what you're looking at) plus pics of it being replaced at Nabiac, and finally the workman testing it - but it's only a third of the way out. There's a bunch of pics of caravans and whatnot while I was waiting, so you'll have to scroll down to find the ones you're looking for.

If you do a search for Fiamma on Youtube you'll find demo vids of the Fiamma Pro (the wind-out one).
