Here is the Tardis (kids named it) in all its wonder.

We'll be back from our 3 weeks around Northern Europe tonight and have had a wonderful time and great weather (bar a few showers).

I think we might benefit from being able to enclose the wind out awning; to give us a better opportunity to keep some of our outdoor stuff outside the van in any weather, when we pitch up for a couple of days and head out on day trips or just want to keep stuff dry in wetter weather.

I don't need anything drive away (we bring bikes and cycle anywhere off pitch, leaving the van behind), and am pretty much settled on the Comfortz wind out awning room.

My only hesitation is that I don't know which wind out awning we have on the van, and the site asks me to select which one we have (presumably for compatibility reasons).

Any ideas? If not, I'll give them a call tomorrow.

Are you buying from the campervan bits shop on here? The only options I had when I bought mine was colour not the type of awning as it just states it fits the VW factory fitted awning
 
Looks like a Fiamma awning and I can confirm that Comfortz room will fit fine.
 
Looks like a Thule end cap to me. Just checked mine.

Difficult to say for definite as it isn't a very clear photo but I would hazard a guess at Thule awning, if it is a Fiamma it should have the little red clip hanging down to show that it is wound in correctly.

From the looks of it, you have the "factory" awning from Omnistor (now Thule Omnistor).
If you have the VW sticker on it when opening the awning, then it's the Omnistor. I don't think Fiamma has black awnings?
 
Thanks team. Spent this evening emptying the van, so will take a closer look at the awning tomorrow and report back.

Great to have this community to lean on ❤️

Fiamma F45S is available is black (Anthracite) White and Silver same as Thule.
I think that is a VW fit Thule omnistor the profile on the Fiamma is different where the legs attach.
I've had both, my new van has a black fiamma that you can park a california under.
