Awning leg vehicle mounts.

Mtbcol · 2026-07-06T00:20:59+0100

Morning all. I've just purchased a pair of the mounts for our fiamma 45s awning that go on the motorhome, and a pair of self adhesive mounting plates ( not sure if they'll hold up, especially in the heat we've been getting? ), as I don't want to drill holes in the van really.

Just wondered if anyone else has fitted these mounts, and if so how high from the floor do they need to be ?

Thanks. Colin.

No way the self adhesive mounts will hold by themselves, they need to be be drilled and bolted on, they have backplates that fit inside the body.

Fit them as low as possible whilst still going though the body, do not fit them to the skirt as i once saw someone do

I think Andyjanet fitted some to his campervan, not sure if he screwed them on though.

I fitted mine over 10 years ago with two

self tapping screws and never had a problem with them.

Fitted a pair on a Rimor, Sikaflex and selt trappers did the job.

Decent adhesive would probably do it on its own so long as you key the paint well, that's what I will use along with a self taper in each if I ever get round to fitting mine

mine are bolted through the skirt of my homer but that is a really solid aluminium much much thicker than a body panel would be

I suggest that you use screws or that you don't fit the dratted things at all.

If you don't want to reduce the value of your motorhome, don't drive it, don't use it.

If you want to use it, don't be afraid of fitting bits.

A tip: fit both brackets so that their open end faces backwards. Facing forwards, they collect too many samples of hedgerow as you squeeze past traffic.
