Camper van canvas roof - advice needed!

[jed the spread]

Actually I have confused myself here

For some reason I thought the fly net went on the inside usually Its been that long since I took my old ripped net out and I had it in my head that the original was on the inside usually. I will shut up and just fit the bugger

I just received a North Westy canvas from the USA.

I plan to do a step by step fitting guide so people can see how to do the job themselves at home.

Have you managed to fit your new canvas yet? Would be interested to know how you got on?

I just received a North Westy canvas from the USA.

A quote from there website, "These high quality tops are made in house from Sunbrella acrylic material, which is waterproof and breathable. Available in many colors, made to order" . Loads of people rave on about them in the USA and as there is no decent suppliers of a quality roof canvas in the UK and as Gunzel seems to have the monopoly on the only decent one in Europe I thought I would try the North Westy one as posable alternative to the Gunzel one. I plan to do a step by step fitting guide so people can see how to do the job themselves at home. The other good thing about the North Westy ones is that they come in a massive range of colours to suit your van too, http://kirkmeeks.com/services/camper_top_conversions" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I will also point out any bad bits when fitting and I have opened the box.

Looking at the link either the material used is either badly made or badly fitted. It looks really naff with the roof up. I hope that you have better luck with it.
