Product Information
Full details
The Fiamma Rain Guard L is designed for RV and caravan owners looking to prevent water ingress between their awning and vehicle. Its primary benefit is providing a reliable seal, especially on curved walls or when awnings are mounted with an adapter creating a gap. A key consideration is its 20-meter length, which is ample for most setups but requires proper cutting and fitting. This EPDM rubber guard effectively covers the space, ensuring a dry interior.

FAQs
What material is the Fiamma Rain Guard made of?
The Fiamma Rain Guard L is made from durable EPDM rubber, which offers excellent resistance to weathering, UV rays, and temperature changes.
What is the length of the Rain Guard?
The product is supplied as a 20-meter roll, with a specific length of 450 cm mentioned for full coverage applications (likely referring to a specific awning size it's designed to cover).
Can I install this on any awning?
It is designed for awnings mounted with spacers up to 9cm from the wall, or on curved walls, and is compatible with Fiamma awnings and roof boxes like the F65 and F65 S L. Always check specific compatibility for your setup.
Do I need to remove my awning to install this?
No, the Rain Guard is designed for installation without removing the awning.
How do I clean the Rain Guard?
You can clean it using mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
What if I only need a short length?
The product comes on a 20-meter roll, so you will cut the required length. The remaining material can be stored for future use or potential repairs.
Is this suitable for preventing leaks in heavy rain?
Yes, its primary function is to seal the gap and prevent water infiltration, making it effective in reducing leaks during rainfall.
Troubleshooting
Water still seeping through the gap
Ensure the Rain Guard is firmly attached and creating a continuous seal. Check for any gaps or areas where the guard might be lifting away from the surface. Re-secure or adjust the fit as needed.
Guard is difficult to cut cleanly
Use a sharp utility knife or specialized rubber cutting tool. Performing the cut on a stable, flat surface can also help achieve a cleaner edge.
Guard is not adhering well
Verify that both the vehicle wall and awning case surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease or dirt. Consider using a compatible automotive adhesive or sealant if standard attachment methods are insufficient.
