| You need decking around your BraziBay permanently these days to overstep the puddles. ________________________________________________________________________________ Max SportsKombi - The Bay Racer

| I know several of you extend your sun canopy with additional tarps and poles (decathlon etc) to give more options on coverage etc. the trouble is they are mostly drab colours.
Rig 7 do a great tarp which has lots of rigging points in a choice of brighter colours. Not cheap.but highly regarded and waterproof (which is probably ,ore useful in this country )...

Good find - in four decent colours - and as you say 'Waterproof' which must be the main aim of buying such an item (OK it can also provide shade from the sun when we get some) Rooby Roo  ________________________________________________________________________________ Proud winners of Spike's Trophy 2017

No green ones though. Strange! You would have thought Green would sell as well as the other colours. Green certainly seemed to be the most popular colour for a Kombi at the Sleepover.  ________________________________________________________________________________ Proud winners of Spike's Trophy 2017

| Agree about the green - we would be tempted if we were to find one similar to the 'van colour.
Also for the Danbury's a match to the standard colours of their grey pop-top canvas or their 'standard' beige cutains might attract some more orders.

Other types of weather are available. They work equally as well (or maybe better?) as rain/shower canopies and apparently the new stock has increased water proofing levels too! ________________________________________________________________________________ www.alpinegrovetouringpark.com

| Following the sleepover and seeing enviously all of your lovely sun canopies with the help of the search function on the forum found this thread and funky leisure. Like some of you found they wouldn't budge on their 2013 price but did get free next day delivery, so now the proud owner of a nice bright orange sun canopy and am hoping as I have a day off tomorrow it gets its first airing... Bring on the sunshine... ________________________________________________________________________________ Steve, Jo TigerLily and Carra the Child lovin' Golden Cocker | |

| osg - Alison really liked your canopy at the Sleepover and the way it attached although I recall you said it was a bit fiddly to put on. Could you let me know where you got it from please?

| Martin I looked at Harrys too and really liked it , found a company selling them on Ebay for £157 delivered at VW Heritage online they are £209..
The only reason I didn't buy it was it said was only shower proof and should not be stored unless fully dry... With the weather we experience I went for the cheaper but more waterproof canopy.
Believe they only come in Yellow and Orange...
Must admit Harry's is lovely..
