Westfalia pop top canvas replacement

Post by Bwana John »

I have been looking for a replacement Westfalia pop top canvas( one window,grey); they seem to be in short supply. Has anyone had experience with the ones made/supplied by NLAVW?  i.e fabric strength, front window zips and fit etc. the price is pretty good at the moment.

Thanks for that dbz846.  I wonder why they are in such short supply?

The reason for the lack of canvas replacements in the UK, is because there is no incentive to make them here. Too few Westies. I got mine from Gunzl in Germany. They have most of the Westie parts that nobody else provides. I went for a three vent version, as the side vents can be partially opened when its raining providing ventilation, so you can safely cook on gas. I was completely satisfied with mine and various other parts I've bought from them.
Make sure that you buy the correct version. The one that is held down with aluminium strips is a different size to the one not fixed that way. If in doubt e-mail them.
:ok

Thanks everyone. I guess for the time being I `ll keep looking, I was hoping for the single window one ideally.
