Hi, I've got a Devon pop top. How can I stop all the warm air escaping out the canvas!!? Thermo mats only seem to be for the windows, but these are the least of my problems.

Any tips??

Contact Daren Pucer for a Devon pop top thermo cover.He makes them for any pop top.

Hey Joanna,
Hope you had as lovely a weekend as we did! Pucerscreens is the name of the silver screens seller on ebay, but he's not got any listed at the moment. I see you have an email for him already though. We got ours from Brickwerks, but they only do ones for Westfalia ones.

Good to meet you this weekend,
Clare

Wonder if he will be able to make an internal one for the viking roof?
Till then we have made some ourselves with the bubble wrap insulation, works pretty well, and the added bonus of keeping it a tad darker in the mornings.

Or.....

nice to meet you sorry didnt mean to gloat about my propex

havnbt got a pic but my sister made a pop top thermo mate from that stuff from wickes

I've just made a thermo screen for my devon pop top, its not as good as one you might buy, but it will do exactly the same job, only difference being its cost me £20 instead of £135.

Get yourself some termo silver screen ona roll from the bay of e's make you you get one with a width of 1.5m, and cut it yourself, and afternoons work at most.

My only tip would be don't make it all once piece as I did, make it out of 3 secions and then stick/tape/melt the sections together. Then the use of a bungy strap to hold it up

I only stock the Westy ones, but I do randomly have a Devon one that Daren sent by mistake.
Sat on my shelf, wondering what to do with it.
Not really up on Devons, so it's just sat there festering, maybe I should get it out and have a look at it!

Guess I will have to make one myself then. Was thinking of doing it on the inside, slotting sheets upright behind the horizontal bars, and then using velcro to attach overlapping sheets on the other side of the bars. Although it sounds like a bit of an ordeal every camp. A bit like re-hanging the curtains after a good clean - God thats a pain!! I was sure I remembered each pieces shape and position, but I still got it wrong. Now they are all in the wrong place, but they wil stay like that til the next clean! I am a bit lazy.

A KIRK did you put yuours on the outside? And it stood up OK? Just imagine it would flap about a bit. And you must have had a damn long bungie, the pop top is pretty wide!

Great to see you at Apps, and heating will be next years investment (as long as something doesn't break in the mean time!!)

ITs quite rigis, and seems to stay up fine (hm sounds so wrong as I type this) I'll use 2/3 bungy straps. Mine wedges up between the outer roof fibre glass and the inner canvas/plastic sheet etc, then the bungies will run from the struts fron to back etc.

I did think about making one for the inside, but decided for some unknown reason that the outside would be best.

when we had a devon we got a big long length of black out material from a fabric shop, cut it to a vague sort of shap of the canvas and attached the stiff side of velcro all round the top edge, then we used the velcro part to stick the fabric to the carpet on the devon roof cap - it was very warm much more than we had expected and also kept nearly all of the light out in the morning!
