AUGUST 2010 PRODUCTION SCHEDULE IS BACK ON TRACK ........
HURRAH!!! Due to the fact that our ace machinist Ian is NOT now going to America for two weeks, we will be in full production for the rest of Summer - HOW GOOD IS THAT!!
A Brief History
Before embarking on our summer 2006 tour of Devon & Cornwall, we spent
ages searching for a top quality, lightweight and shower proof sun canopy/awning
for our Type 2 VW bus. Nothing out there matched our requirements,
so always wanting to take on a challenge and test our grey matter, we set
out to design and make our own!! After several prototypes and some
fun R&D in the wilds of Yorkshire, we finally settled on a design that
we aptly named
™.
Following numerous compliments and enquiries from fellow v-dubbers during our trip, we are now in a position to offer this cool and easy to use piece of kit to you.
Unlike similar products on the market, our awning is available in a selection of 8 cool colours to compliment your paintwork! As everything we make is a one-off (we’re not into mass production!) we are more than happy to offer custom sizes and designs.
™
was originally designed to fit Volkswagen Split Screen Type 1’s, Type
2 Bay Window and Type 25 campers, but we can now make them to fit T4’s,
T5’s and a variety of other vehicles. You even have the choice of
how it attaches to your vehicle - either using the Pole and Clamp method,
Figure 8 Channel or multi-rail attachment. For more details please click

page.
