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

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
