How to Identify and Order Replacement Parts for Your Fiamma Awning
How to Identify and Order Replacement Parts for Your Fiamma Awning
If you’ve owned your camper van or RV for any length of time, chances are your Fiamma awning has seen plenty of sun, wind, and adventure. Fiamma awnings are known worldwide for their Italian craftsmanship and long lifespan—but even the best-made awnings eventually need a little care and a few replacement parts.
At Poptop World, we’re proud to be one of the few U.S. shops that stocks genuine Fiamma awning replacement parts and can help you identify exactly what you need—no guesswork required.
A Little Background on Fiamma
Fiamma has been crafting premium RV accessories in Italy since 1945, producing not only awnings but also bike racks, ladders, vent fans, and hardware for motorhomes and camper vans. Fiamma has been selling in the U.S. since 1980. Every Fiamma product is engineered to last, and their awnings—especially the F45 and F65 series—have become the gold standard for van conversions and RVs around the world.
Because these awnings last so long, many still in use today are 10–25 years old. That’s great news for owners—but it also means identifying your exact model (and finding parts for it) can sometimes be tricky.
Our Fiamma Parts Sourcing System
At Poptop World, we’ve developed a simple system to help you quickly identify your awning and get the right parts the first time.
1. Identify Your Awning
Many older awnings no longer have visible model numbers. Start by looking for a small production label—you’ll find it on the inside of the case once the awning is fully extended.
2. Know the Common Models
F45 Plus (1994–2003)
– Always right-hand crank
– Only available in white
– Oldest model still supported
– Many parts discontinued, but end caps and key components remain in stock
F45i (2003–2011)
– Available in both left- and right-hand crank versions
– White case only
– Crank direction matters!
• Crank from the front → Right-hand
• Crank from the rear → Left-hand
F45s (2011–Present)
– Right-hand crank only
– Available in white, black, or titanium
– Manual operation with optional motor upgrade
– Durable metal case instead of plastic
All F45-series awnings share the same mounting brackets. If you’re upgrading from an older F45 Plus to a newer F45s, you can reuse your existing brackets—no drilling or remounting required.
Other Fiamma Models You Might Encounter
F65 (2009–2019)
– Roof-mounted manual awning
– Left-hand crank only
– Lengths: 10.5′, 12.2′, 13.2′
– Replaced by the F80s
F80s (2019–present)
– Roof-mounted, designed for vans without roof racks
– Modern styling and improved hardware
F45 Eagle / F65 Eagle

– Require full-length mounting brackets
– Include wind sensors for automatic retraction
– Ideal for Class A RVs, food trucks, or flat-walled installs
– Note: These models cannot support privacy rooms or hanging accessories

The easiest way to confirm what model you have is to email our team. Send the following to sales@poptopworld.com:
