Hi, I have recently bought an Elddis Sunseeker (2005 plate).  We have also been given a Fiamma light room, but not sure how to attach.  The fixers I have got, I thought went on the left of the awning fixing but there appears to be no room.  Any help would be appreciated

    They look very similar to the things that came with mine to allow the legs to attach back onto the van, with a reduced extension awning. I didn't have them fitted.

    i think i can see the issue....

    although mine is a Thule (not Fiamma) the principle is similar... the pivot for my 'extending arms' are set more inboard than yours...you have no room for these room fasteners....

    i only have a 'side piece' canopy but you can see the plastic holder for the 'pole' is at the left of the rail...where you would like to put yours..

    i dont know if its possible to unscrew the arm bracket and slide it inwards about 2" and then resecure....same at other end. this would create a space for the plastic clips.

    obviously, a winding test would be required to ensure the legs retracted (and parked) properly....this may not be a solution....do you have a very small awning?  

    im sure someone with a Fiamma and privacy room can help.

    Thank you, I will give this a go.  I looked at Fiamma website and their first suggestion was going to the dealer, who wasn't much help.  Thought I would try here!  I like your suggestion, seems sensible to me.  Thanks again, Emma
