Awning fitment
What awning fits a VW Transporter (T5 / T6 / T6.1)?
The VW Transporter takes the wall-mounted Fiamma F45S — there is no roof-mounted F80S for this platform. The short wheelbase takes a 260cm and the long wheelbase a 300cm, on the Transporter wall kit (or a bar adapter if you have a roof rack).
VW Transporter awning sizes by wheelbase
| Wheelbase | Awning (wall-mounted) | With a roof rack (wall-mounted F45S) |
|---|---|---|
| SWB | Fiamma F45S 260cmbracket 98655-648 | Fiamma F45S 260cm |
| LWB | Fiamma F45S 300cmbracket 98655-648 | Fiamma F45S 300cm |
Sizes are the fit for each wheelbase. The awning length is set by the van's side run, so the roof-mounted and wall-mounted awnings take the same size for the same van. Aero roof bars need a bracket matched to your bars.

An aftermarket roof rack or roof bars, the kind you'd carry gear or a board on. It changes which awning mounts to your van.
About the Fiamma F45S
The wall / side-mounted Fiamma. It fixes to the body panel down the side of the van (or onto a roof rack), fits almost any van, and is the go-to for the VW Transporter and smaller, flat-sided campers. On very tall roofs it is also the easier-to-reach option. Ten sizes from 190 to 450cm in Polar White, Titanium or Deep Black (325cm is a Deep Black exclusive). Royal Grey canopy.

Common questions
How does the Fiamma F45S mount?
The F45S is wall / side-mounted: it fixes to the body panel down the side of the van (or onto a roof rack with the right adapter feet). Because it screws into the side wall rather than the roof, it fits almost any flat-sided van, which is why it is the go-to awning for the VW Transporter and smaller campers.
What is the difference between the F45S and the F80S?
The F45S is wall/side-mounted and the F80S is roof-mounted. The F45S fits almost any van and is easier to reach on very tall roofs; the F80S sits low-profile above door height and suits high-roof panel vans (Sprinter, Crafter, Ducato) with no clean side-wall fixing line. Choose on where your van takes the fixing, not just its length.
Do I need a bracket kit for the F45S?
On most flat-sided vans the F45S fixes directly to the side wall with the supplied brackets, so no separate van-specific kit is needed. If you are mounting to a roof rack or an awkward panel you may need Fiamma adapter feet; tell us your van and roof setup and we will confirm what it takes before you order.
Is the F45S manual or electric?
It comes with a hand crank for manual wind-out. It is the classic, proven Fiamma side awning, simple to operate and quick to set up.
