Once again not bought today but last year when waiting. Vango Tailgate Airhub Low for those trips longer than 2-3 days. Very quick to put up and take down. One valve. Me, wife, 2 boys & 2 border terriers.

Border terriers are the best!!

Not bought but homemade mosquito nets. Think fit is really nice and saved a lot of money!! Fitted magnets to hold in place and also made a set for side windows and sliding window by cooker.
Hope these do the trick in summer evenings

I had this exact same thought on my bike ride today. Where did you source the netting from please?

Midge netting, cotton binding for edges and small flat magnets and round magnets sewn in. Measured on the van and marked everything out before sewing. Not very good at sewing so took a good few hours but def worth it!!
If you want suppliers I can check where I got stuff

That’d be great if you don’t mind. Midge netting sounds a bit more bomb proof than mosquito netting. I had a quick look, there’s quite a few suppliers in Scotland. Hmmmm….. can’t think any!

I used this company for the midge mesh - it’s very strong and

sews well. Going to use a little spare to cover vents in the pop top with the finer mesh.

Tried on for the first time this morning but bought this time last year. Thule Sun blocker G2. I can understand why the reviews are favourable. Great shade without a full block, can’t see in very well at all but view out is great!! Cinch to put up feeding it into the awning rail. Think I prefer with the ‘guy lines’ as well as the rubber loops, extending the usable space.

I just received my Outwell Fallcrest and Hillcrest tarps but after seeing these photos I think I will send the front panel back and replace it with one of these. I prefer this semi transparent view versus an opaque panel for a less enclosed feel while still offering adequate privacy.

tuono001 · May 8, 2022

Do these fit in the opposite side rail as well? Need something to give shade on that side in summer too.

I have the Brandrup front panel and, like you’ve mentioned, favour the G2 because of the less enclosed feel.

The rail on the opposite side is too big and the G2 can’t be used there unfortunately.

There is an adapter I.e. cador that is a 5mm and 7mm combination that does fit into this rail together, then the Thule or any other tarp or awning with a cador will fit

How much and where from if you don’t mind me asking

Algor · May 12, 2022

An Induction hob and low wattage toaster. I figured if I am going to pay the extra cost for hook ups this year then I would make sure I got my monies worth.
