Phil,

I do not understand your question/comment:

"What about the support point of attachment to the FWC?  ...with that surface area and leverage; I personally would be skeptical of the structural integrity as the "wing" moved and flexed on that single attachment point."

The Fiamma awning on the passenger side of my camper is attached high on the sidewall at multiple points (FWC OEM installation). 

To the best of my knowledge the 270 degree awnings attach along the side wall of the camper  Those attach points (I assume multiple) are presumably attached thru the Aluminum frame rail of the camper at the top of the wall (just below the pop-up portion).   However, since I do not have one I really don't know how they are attached.

Want more information on Awning Wall factory? Feel free to contact us.

Below is a photo of a camper without the siding on it and there is a wide aluminum framing member that goes all the way around the top of the camper box.  It is welded to the other frame members and looks pretty stiff to me. 

My first order concerns would be the awning canopy support arms buckling from wind force (rafters? ribs?) and after that how the awning attaches to the camper wall - does it use a long plate against the camper wall or short brackets mounts at each end that could produce leverage points to pull the bolts out - is that what you were getting at?

Edit:   I just looked at how the Fiamma F45 is attached to the side of my camper.  There is a long plate the full length of the awning that is attached to the camper with numerous screws.  It is also attached to the awing body along its full length.  That is the right way to do it.
