This updated version comes with two 3-metre adjustable straps in black and yellow, along with stakes and tension springs that actually do the job they're meant to. The straps slot straight into your awning's lead bar rail, so there's no faffing about with complicated fittings. Worth noting though - if you've got an F65, you'll need a Privacy Room fitted for this kit to work properly, as it attaches via the side clips rather than the rail itself.What makes this tie down kit genuinely useful is how it balances security with ease of use. The adjustable straps let you get the tension just right, whilst the included springs stop everything going slack when your awning shifts slightly in the wind (because it will). The stakes are proper metal ones that'll hold in most ground conditions, not the flimsy pegs that bend on their first outing. Everything clips together quickly enough that you won't be wrestling with it when you're trying to get pitched before dark. If you're using a Caravanstore awning rather than the F45/F65 range, you'll need a different kit entirely - this one simply won't fit those models.FEATURES.
The Fiamma Tie Down Kit S is designed for caravan owners who need to secure their Fiamma F45S, F45L, F65S, F65L, and F80 awnings against adverse weather. Its key benefit is providing robust security with a user-friendly setup, ensuring your awning remains stable in windy conditions. A key caveat is that it requires a Privacy Room fitted for F65 models and is incompatible with Caravanstore awnings.

Troubleshooting
Straps won't slide into the awning rail.
Ensure you are using a compatible Fiamma awning model and that the rail is clear of debris. Check that the strap end is correctly oriented.
Stakes are difficult to hammer into the ground.
Choose a different location or use a rubber mallet. For very hard ground, pre-loosening the soil slightly can help.
Awning still feels loose after tightening straps.
Ensure the tension springs are correctly attached and functioning. Re-adjust the strap tension and ensure stakes are fully embedded.
F65 awning attachment seems incorrect.
Confirm that a Privacy Room is fitted to your F65 awning. This kit attaches via the side clips of the Privacy Room for F65 models.
