Awning Arm November 12, 2022, 12:16:48 pm Hi y'all, I have not used the awning on my 2006 23.5 TK in a number of years but decided to try to extend it yesterday but I could only find one support arm. Anyone know where I could possibly get another one?
Re: Awning Arm Reply #1 – November 12, 2022, 12:32:08 pm Missing an awning arm? I’m not sure that’s possible unless the entire awning was damaged. I’d suggest looking again and perhaps adding a photo of the space with the missing awning. Please add information about the make and model of this awning.
Re: Awning Arm Reply #2 – November 12, 2022, 01:26:30 pm It's a Fiamma awning and it includes 2 support arms that connects the ends of the awning to the side of the rig when the awning is extended. They are manually setup and removed each time you use the awning.
Re: Awning Arm Reply #3 – November 12, 2022, 01:38:39 pm Hi Michael; If you have the standard Fiamma awning on your 'TK then each arm is stowed inside the outermost part of the awning. There is a double jointed 'knuckle' at each far end. The foot of each arm slides into a slot at the center and is held tight by a red knob near the knuckle end. There should also be one extension 'rafter' that connects in the center and supports the awning material in the middle. So you are saying that the knuckle on one end doesn't have the arm that attaches to it?. The Fiamma store has all of those parts available. RonB 1 Likes

Re: Awning Arm Reply #6 – November 12, 2022, 07:25:22 pm I suspect you have everything you need. The arms are folded up into the awning. The separate part is the center stiffener. 1 Likes

Re: Awning Arm Reply #8 – November 12, 2022, 10:31:02 pm Ok y'all, my bad. It had been so long since I used the awning I'd forgotten how it worked. As indicated by HBN7HJ and agreed by others, the piece I had was the center piece. Everything is in order now. Thank you all so much for your responses...........................................mike 2 Likes
Re: Awning Arm Reply #9 – July 05, 2025, 01:30:23 pm Is there any reference pictures on how it is supposed to be set up? I just bought a 1996 Lazy daze, so I don't know how it is supposed to be set up. I think I have everything I need. I'm only guessing at this point and I don't want to mess anything up.

It’s basically how we setup our awning. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6cB2V0YZsoM&pp=ygUZaG93IHRvIG9wZW4gZmlhbW1hIGF3bmluZw%3D%3D Hope this helps. 2 Likes
Re: Awning Arm Reply #12 – July 05, 2025, 06:23:45 pm Interesting video. I've always placed the arms into the sidewall bracket; I guess I never realized the arms could be placed on the ground. I wonder how secure that method would be compared to the sidewall bracket? 1 Likes
Re: Awning Arm Reply #13 – July 06, 2025, 02:14:59 am Just to add here, I just had to order an arm or correctly named leg as I was told by Octavio at Fiamma USA in FL. On our last outing I got surprised by a gust of wind the folded the left leg arm. I had Fiamma Stickers and Dometic on my 2000 so it was a little confusing but we settled on the part number after looking at a few parts lists. The new arm is slightly different in looks (knob mostly) but function will be the same and I can always use the old knob. He sent me a leg arm last week but it arrived damaged (of which I think I can fix) but he's sending another. It's the F45 but the width of awning is needed for most parts. Mine is a 13 ft. on my 26 and the leg arms are different for a few of the models they have. Click on pix below.Ramon
