Awning legs on A/S Forums

maggielou

Hi

Just bought PP ( perfect perfection on 4 wheels) Better known as a/s Marquis Devon Special.

It has a Fiamma roll out awning. I can operate the roll out bit ok,(very simple) but please can someone tell me how to disengage the legs to lower them.

Thanks

Hi,
Roll the awning out to about 1 metre. You should then be able to reach the front panel of the awning. If you look inside the front panel you will be able to see the legs. Grip the leg about 6inches from the outer edge of the awning and pull towards you, the leg section will swivel and then you will be able to pull the entire leg from the front section, and then swivel it to a vertical position. Now extend the leg to about 2 metres. Now fully open the awning and then straighten the legs so that they are again vertical.
When you put the legs away, make sure the the foot is folded against the side of the leg that goes innermost into the awning front. Keep the leg folded at the swivel end until the leg is into the front panel. Then apply slight pressure to the swivel so that the leg slides flush with the front panel. This will ensure that the foot is clipped to its retaining fitting.
Hope this helps.
Gerry

One slight note of caution Maggs.

Gerry has done a grand job of describing a Fiamma Awning (I'm almost certain) but Messrs Autosleepers have fitted Omnistore awnings to some models, mine included.

Basically the same instructions, but on the Omnistore you need to push the foot part of each leg toward the outer edge of the awning. It has an internal spring and will slide away from its retaining clip in the centre, and you will be able to ease out the foot and lower it down.

I expect yours will be a Famma, but just in case! Rolling Eyes

Thanks Dave. Your right it is a Fiamma F45 awning so will adhere to Gerrys instructions and have a go tomorrow.

Thank you all for your help.

Not wishing to wet on your parade but is that the new Devon?

A Merc version of Zebs beloved Nuevo.

We lusted after one @ P'boro.

A very, very nice piece of van and with auto as an option as well.

Jealous? Moi?

Hi Andy,

So sorry to disappoint. I would need to win the lottery to get one of thoes.

I understand it was commissioned from a/s by the MH dealers Marquis in Devon UK

I think its basically an a/s symphony with a Marquis Devon Tag. Marquis also commissioned a similar van a/s marquis Dorset.

It was registered in Sept. 2005 in immaculate condition inside and out so to me its perfect.

Never wanted a Merc. anyway always preferred the Ford KA lol

Cheers Maggs
