That's a lot of money for an awning, and it inevitably adds a lot to the trailer price.
One alternative worth considering is the Dometic 9500 manual awning instead of the motorized one. The fitment would be identical with less work involved than the powered one, because there's no electrical connection. And, the cost is almost half. You can always ask.

Robert it isn't only the motor and weight , the support arms missing ,and I think has been already stated the stress of that awning on the thin fiberglass if it is flapping around ? I think if that was my choice I would delete it and make sure whatever supports are there for a awning and get my Fiamma on my own . Would also need blocks glassed in for the 2 side chrome supports supports if I didn't want it on the ground . As I said before just my thoughts . Pat
