00:00If you've ever laid awake at 2 in the morning listening to your awning flapping like it's
00:03trying to take off, this one's for you. I've spent the last few weeks digging through the
00:08deals to find the top 5 caravan awning fixing kits for genuinely windproof setups and honestly,
00:13some of these cost less than a coffee and a sandwich.
00:16So let's get into it, because a bit of kit like this can save you a very expensive repair bill.
00:22Kicking things off at number 1, we've got the Motorhome Awning Box Rafter Fixing Kit,
00:27the support bracket designed for Fiamma F45 and F70 boxes.
00:32Now this is the little part everyone forgets about until it snaps,
00:35and then suddenly your rafter's got nowhere to sit. What I like is that it's a proper direct
00:40replacement, matching the original part number, so you're not bodging it with cable ties and hope.
00:46At $5.74, it's almost silly not to keep a spare in the drawer.
00:51Nearly 5,000 sold and a 4.9 rating tells you people are fitting these and not coming back to
00:56complain.
00:57Next up, the 20-piece awning suction cup anchor set with the securing hooks.
01:03These are brilliant if you don't want to be drilling holes in your van, you just wet the pad,
01:07press it onto the side panel or a window, flick the lever, and you've got a solid tie-down point.
01:1220 of them means you can anchor the awning properly and still have spares for hanging towels,
01:17lights, or a washing line. It's $12.55 for the set, which works out at about $0.60 a hook.
01:254.8 stars from over 4,500 buyers, that's a lot of happy campers.
01:30Coming in at number 3, and this is the one I'd probably buy first,
01:34the 2-piece RV Tent Windproof Fixed Strap Hooks.
01:37These clip straight into the awning rail on Fiamma, Thule Omnister, and Don't Tick Units,
01:42and they give you a proper anchor point for your storm straps instead of looping them around the
01:46arms and stressing the joints. That's the bit that actually protects your awning in a gust.
01:52$8.61 for the pair, and they're sitting on a perfect 5-star rating from nearly 4,000 sales.
01:59When something this cheap gets a flawless score, that says something.
02:03At number 4 we've got another 20-pack of high-grip awning suction cup anchors,
02:07same idea as before, but this set comes in at just $8.45, which is a solid $4 cheaper.
02:14Same 20 pieces, same lever-lock design, and it's holding a perfect 5-star rating too.
02:20So if you're just after maximum anchor points for minimum money, this is the smarter buy of the two.
02:26Stick a few along the side of the van, run your guylines down,
02:29and your awning suddenly feels a whole lot more planted when the wind picks up.
02:33And rounding out the list at number 5, the 8-piece Camper Pack for the Don't Tick
02:38Campo Limpet Fix System. If you've already got Campo gear, these are the ones that actually match
02:43proper limpet-style cups that grip flat panels and windows and give you a secure fixing point
02:47without a single screw. $8.84 for 8 of them, and they're compatible across caravans, motorhomes,
02:54and campers. The rating's a touch lower at 4.5 stars, mainly because they need a clean,
03:00smooth surface to really bite, so give the panel a wipe first and you'll be fine.
03:04All the links are down in the description, so go have a look and grab whichever one suits your setup.
03:10If this helped you out, give it a like, and hit subscribe I've got loads more caravan
03:14and motorhome gear coming your way. Cheers, and happy camping!
