Hi All

 

We have just bought our first motorhome and are looking for a safari room for the canopy.

 

my question is does a Fiamma safari room fit an onminster canopy??

many thanks in advance

    I'm afraid i don't know the answer to that, but rather than a safari room, there are also what's called
    Windblocker Shades from Lilypad Leisure.  These have been discussed on this forum a little while back in

    this thread      They are much lighter than the traditional safari rooms and very good.  Have a read through the thread, I think you'll find it very informative.

    Have you looked at the omnistore uk site?

    For us, the point of having a motorhome is the ability to move from site to site with a minimum of set-up. We use our windout awning for shade in sunny climes and for protection from the odd rain shower. Wind out awnings must be taken in whenever high winds
    are forecast unlike caravan awnings.

    Worst thing you can do to a MH is peg it down to the ground. We use our windout awning when needed. Rest of the time we are using it. We do take it to some strange places and find some great overnight stops away from the crowds.

    Does anyone have a Thule Quick fit tent that fits under the Omnistor awning?

    I don't know to be honest, but I have doubts.  There are even different Omnistor rooms for the available Omnistor canopies - that's what makes me think that it would be doubtful if a Fiamma room would fit.

    If I were in the position of getting a 'room' for a canopy, personally, I'd go for the Omnistor room anyway.  For me, they are more stylish than the Fiamma equivalent.  Just my personal opinion.

    OMG! We have a fiamma safari room. It looks smart but it is a real pain to put up! We switched from a caravan and awning to a motorhome and wanted the extra space. Don't believe the demonstrations on utube it really takes a bottle of red wine and  good humour
    to erect! However when up its great. However we had a large porch awning left from the caravan, and we tried that out last time so much easier! The thread fits into our fiamma roll out awning fixed to the motorhome while it is still rolled in. For a short
    stay we now use this.
