Fiamma Awning Model?
I have a 1998 26.5 mid-bath and I'm trying to determine the size of the awning (sticker is gone) so I can order new end caps (one is gone and the other cracked) directly from Fiamma.

Could someone help?

Thanks in advance...

My 96 had an A and E awning on it. Dometic bought them out and at one time you could get replacement parts for them.
Now, not sure.
Either way, Fiamma won't be able to help you with parts, you would have to buy a new awning.

It might be worthwhile to check Fiamma's website (www.fiammausa.com) under the 'Service' tab; there is a link to a PDF of parts replacements and prices and a customer service number to call for assistance.

Cheryl-

Here is the info off our 1997 mid-bath's Fiamma awning label:

FP 700045 A00
F45/50
S/N 000000278440

The moveable part of the awning is 12 feet 10 inches long. Over the end caps, it's about 13 feet 3 inches long.

When I ordered parts in 2014, Fiamma told me it was an F45 Plus L model awning. they supplied this link:

Of course, you should confirm all this info for yourself (in case your awning is different than ours was).

The folks at Fiamma were very helpful and reachable by both e-mail and phone.

I hope this info helps.

I ordered parts from Fiamma USA in Florida when I needed to rebuild parts of my awning.  I ordered via the website and parts arrived in a week or so.

Tragically, Fiamma USA was targeted by an ex-employee in a workplace shooting in July, 2017.  I'm not sure to what extent they are or aren't back in business.  You don't seem to be able to order via the website, but they do have an email address that might work?

Otherwise, you might try e-bay, some large dealerships, someone overseas, or anything outside of the traditional dealer network.

It's a tough situation.

I was told that the Fiamma awning parts were not the same as my A and E.
This was by a parts tech at an RV dealer in Las Vegas.
They said the end caps were narrower on Fiamma and would not work on mine.
After looking closer, that was the case.
He did have a parts list for my awning that showed the end caps, but could not locate them anywhere he tried.
Discontinued too long, so someone would have had to have them laying on the shelf for awhile.

As an aside, I don't know when the Mothership changed from A and E over to Fiamma.
I thought it was later into the 2000's.
This all applies to my 96.

The spec sheet for my 2003 TK doesn't note the brand of awning, but, AFAIK, the original awning was a Fiamma; I was told at the factory that it was 'badged' A&E, but was actually made by Fiamma.

I had the original awning replaced a year or so ago - with a Fiamma F45. The awning case is a little shorter than the original, but almost everything else is the same.

If I were investigating awning replacement or needed parts, I'd go to Fiamma Inc. - Home , check out all the links, then call them to find out what I needed to know.

As ever, YMMV.
