What is an awning?

An awning is a form of supplementary roof or cover, often constructed of water-resistant fabric that provides shade and protection. It also gives you additional space to sit or lay down and increases your living space for you and your family. A Fiamma awning is ideal for any destination you wish to visit in your next vacation getaway. Moreover, awnings don't only offer protection from the elements, but it also keeps your equipment dry which makes sure all your gear and food are safe.

Adding a Fiamma awning to your RV can add versatility and space to your travels. The Fiamma awnings are simple to raise and store, making travelling from campsite to campsite effortless.

Another benefit is that awnings can be installed over the patio, the slide topper, the window or the entrance.
