For high-end vehicles, we have developed the Magic line, offering an especially elegant and ergonomic handle design with a rounded shape and an attrac- tive, tactile surface made of aluminum alloy. The locks are a very important part of a recreational vehicle: they are the first thing you touch when you come aboard. That’s why we have invested heavily in developing products that combine quality and reliability with high esthetic appeal inspired by classic Italian design at its best”. The Magic locks have been developed with a dual locking mechanism for recreational-vehicle doors. When the door closes, the first stage kicks in, holding the door shut. The door is now loc- ked, but it can be made doubly secure. When the handle is lowered, a barrel with rotating components clicks into place, pushing the door even tighter against the internal frame for a truly firm closure. The FAP factory spans an area of 4,000 sq m. The company employs 15 people across its production departments, computerized warehouse, technical office with advanced design systems, and quality-control depar- tment. “My grandfather started the business in 1968, prompted by two Italian entrepre- neurs whom he met on a campsite: Luano Niccolai, owner of Rimor, and Giovambattista Moscardini, founder of Laika. The freshly established FAP began to make aerators for these two celebrated Italian caravan manufacturers”, recounts Lapo Ermini. “In 1977, my father took over the reins, transforming the company from a small workshop into a major European pla- yer; in 2002, I joined the management myself. I am striving to follow in my prede- cessors’ footsteps, steering the firm toward success despite the depression afflicting the Italian market. Fortunately, the sector has seen the value of our offering and, thus far, has always rewarded us”. FAP obtained UNI EN ISO 9001:2008 certification in 2003. The company has been active not only in the caravanning industry but also, since 1982, in the railway sector, making furnishing compo- nents for the main European manufacturers. MAGIC GHOST GHOST

Orus Line
O ne of FAP’smost intere-sting pro-
duct ranges isOrus Line, a col-lection ofm o d e r n ,a t t r a c t i v e l ydesigned fillersand externalinlets for cam-pers and cara-vans. The com-mon family feelis created by thecap and frame,which are available invarious colors, inclu-ding a transparent plasticversion. The filler with auto-mobile-style friction cap is uniquein the industry. Ideal for both the drin-king-water tank and any additionalfuel tanks, it features a screw guide forthe friction cap, which takes effectwhen fully screwed in, and a system tomake the handle turn idly once locked.The friction sound indicates that thecap has been screwed in correctly,while the idle rotation protects thetank contents and the cap itself bydeterring thieves. The cap also has ananti-fall cord and a socket to hold it tothe flap during refilling. Another exclu-sive feature of Orus Line by FAP is thefiller with an adapter enabling the useof diesel tank caps, including a dedica-ted version for the original Fiat caps.This solution is particularly useful tomotorhome manufacturers, whosefuel-tank fillers must comply withvarious legal standards in case vehiclesoverturn. Orus Line overcomes the pro-blem by enabling the manufacturer’soriginal filler and cap to be used. OrusLine includes external sockets for con-necting the gas supply, a quick connec-tion for water with a pressure reducerand check valve, a 230-V / 16-A exter-nal electric socket, and a quick connec-tor for the external shower. The multi-purpose system includes a useful 220-V Shuko socket, sockets for digital ter-restrial TV and satellite dish, and a 12-V socket. All home comforts can beenjoyed under the veranda, too.Another interesting feature is theoption to buy the cover as an aftermar-ket part if it should break during aclumsy maneuver or when mishandled.
