Trying To Find Awning "Shock Absorbers" for 2005 26.5 MidBath July 02, 2020, 04:47:44 pm Our 2005 26.5 MB's awning is needing some work. Our awning "end caps" need replaced and the "shock absorbers" are both broken. I did a search here and found some helpful info, but unfortunately I can't narrow down which awning we have due to the sticker being faded. I attached a picture and I think that the "F45i" is marked to the left and in the middle possibly "4.0" is marked? We don't have any stickers anywhere else that I see other than Dometic one which was useless. It is really faded so I'm not sure and we don't have any other documentation for the awning in our LD book.I am thinking that we have the "Fiamma F45i 4.0" based on the slight color variations on the sticker. My main concern is ordering parts that are wrong.Can anyone with a similar year or knowledge chime in to confirm I'm finding the right parts or at-least the awning model information. Thanks!For those looking in the future, I found the parts I think I need here: F45 i 250-400Left Shock Absorber Part Info: 98655-123 LEFT HAND CASE BRACKET INSERTRight Shock Absorber Part Info: 98655-124 RIGHT HAND CASE BRACKET INSERTLeft End Cap: 98655-014 L.H.

He is the parts specialist at Fiamma. With the serial number he should be able to find the right parts for you. Most probably you need the parts that you listed above. You can buy them right away during the same phone call. I recently ordered parts from them on a Wednesday afternoon and got them on Friday.Klaus 1 Likes
