Just wondering if there are any other makers of similar bag awnings to the Fiamma Caravanstore type as per picture
Fiamma Bagged Awning
If anybody can help would appreciate any information at all.

My Fiamma is similar to this except has a hard cover instead of the bag.
Have seen wind out and electric versions.
What features in particular are you wanting?

Basically after an awning that is considerably easier(than our existing annex) and quicker to set up, that can come out from the poptop roof and give a reasonable fall, but still with head room at extended end.i have seen videos of the Aussie Traveller " Coolabah" and seems ok, seeing as able to be set up by one person.No indications of pri ces though and seems a tad bulky to mount on the poptop roof as
well.
Thank you for your response SDG

Hi Kevmac, give Camec ( Welshpool, WA) a call, they have all sorts of c/van bits.
as an alternate, It may be poss to adapt a vehicle awning , or similar to fit side of van. They normally go onto roof racks at side in a zipbag, have seen adaptations and several 4x4 firms make them, adequate length may be the limitation . ask jayco where they get theirs from... There's a c/van dealer beside Bunnings in
Albany- on the Hwy coming into the city.

I never do.
I just make sure it is secure.

always thought that is what the tie downs were for Gronk? Yet the Aussie Traveller Coolabah states categorically is no need for tie downs just peg the poles
