it doesn't look like a devon roof to me, Devon's have a plastic 'rim' around the bottom of the canvas & sits on the van roof.......it looks very much like the leisuredrive roof I have residing on my dads shed roof (can't bring myself to cut up my tin top)

Hi Karen, the plastic rim bit that sits on the roof is in the background in the pic :)
