If you're planning your next lap of Australia or just want your annexe to stand up to a blustery night at the caravan park, checking AFK PRO compatibility with your awning is the first job on the list.
The Anti-Flap Kit PRO+ is designed to reduce wind flap and give your annexe walls a secure, waterproof attachment point, but not every awning connects the same way. Start by visiting our confirm AFK PRO+ compatibility page to match your model.
Xtend Outdoors has been helping Australian caravanners get the right fit since 2004, so this guide walks through AFK PRO compatibility by brand, size and installation method.
By the end, you'll know which awnings fit AFK PRO hardware straight out of the box, which need extra parts, and how to measure your own setup before you buy.
Which Awning Brands Are Compatible with the AFK PRO+?
The AFK PRO+ is built to suit most types of RV awnings on the market, with eight different end attachments included to cover a wide range of mounting styles. That said, AFK PRO compatibility still varies slightly by brand, so it pays to confirm before you order.
Here's a quick anti-flap kit fitment chart covering the most common Australian awning brands:

Fiamma-Specific Compatibility and Setup
Fiamma AFK PRO compatibility is a common question, particularly for cassette awnings like the F80S. These awnings need additional parts not included in the standard AFK PRO+ kit, along with a Curved Roof Rafter for a secure fit.
The good news is installation still avoids drilling into your cassette housing. If you're running a Fiamma awning, check the model-specific notes before ordering so you get every bracket in one order.
Sizing Your AFK PRO+: Projections and Pop-Tops
Brand and projection both matter. The AFK PRO+ is one size for awning projections from 2,100mm to 2,500mm. Confirm your awning model and measure the projection before ordering.
Before buying, measure your awning's projection from the caravan wall to the outer edge when fully extended.
Pop-Top Caravan Compatibility
Pop-top caravans often run shorter, tighter awning projections than standard vans. Measure carefully at full extension, since a pop-top roof line can make the true projection harder to judge from ground level.
If your figure falls outside the standard range, check the extension options below before assuming the kit won't fit.
Extending Beyond 2,500mm
For awnings with a projection larger than 2,500mm, extension brackets are available to bring the AFK PRO+ up to size.
These compatible awnings AFK PRO extensions are a straightforward add-on rather than a separate product, so you don't need to reorder the whole kit if your measurements come in slightly over the standard range.
How Do You Measure Your Awning for the Right AFK PRO+ Size?
This anti-flap kit PRO+ guide only works if your measurements are accurate, so take the time to get this step right. You'll need three figures: projection length, awning height, and the type of end configuration your awning uses.
Common Measurement Mistakes to Avoid
The most common error is measuring the awning fabric rather than the full extended arm length, which under-reports your true projection. Australian heat can also cause slight material expansion, so measure on a mild day where possible and re-check before ordering.
If you'd rather not measure solo, the DIY Measure Kit includes a step-by-step video and measuring sheet to walk you through it.
DIY or Professional Installation? A Fitment Decision Framework
Once AFK PRO compatibility is confirmed, the next decision is who fits it. Ask yourself:
Do you have basic tools and some mechanical confidence?Is your caravan accessible for a couple of hours? If yes to both, a DIY install is realistic for most standard setups.
When Professional Fitting Makes Sense
Seek expert installation if your awning projection sits at the extreme limit of the standard kit size. Professional fitting is also highly recommended if you are installing the specialized AFK PRO+ system onto a Fiamma box cassette awning, as this requires precise custom brackets to prevent an uneven or loose attachment.
If you would prefer expert help, Xtend Outdoors’ professional installation service is available in selected standard and extended service areas, including caravan parks, homes and caravan storage centres. Annexe measure-and-install visits start at $99.99, while AFK fitment pricing should be confirmed for your service and location.
If the fitment ever feels loose after install, or an end attachment won't sit flush, get in touch rather than forcing it.
Correct tension matters for how the kit performs in Australia's coastal salt air and inland heat over time, and Xtend's team can talk you through a fix or arrange a follow-up visit.
