Fiamma F65 Awning Left Hand Ratchet D60 - 05816-01-

The Fiamma F65 Awning Left Hand Ratchet - 05816-01- is a component specifically designed for the Fiamma F65 awning, commonly used on motorhomes, campervans, and similar recreational vehicles (RVs). Here’s what it is and what it does:

1. Ratchet Mechanism: The ratchet is part of the awning's mechanism that allows controlled extension and retraction. It helps in locking the awning in place when extended, preventing it from retracting unintentionally due to wind or other forces.

2. Left Hand Specific: This ratchet is designed for the left-hand side of the F65 awning. The left-hand designation refers to its placement when facing the awning from outside the vehicle. This ensures proper installation and functionality as the components are often mirrored for each side.

3. Operation: The ratchet works in conjunction with other parts of the awning's mechanism, such as the arms and springs, to ensure smooth and secure operation. It typically engages when you extend the awning and disengages when you retract it.
