If its just the fact the leg bases are white plastic, swap them for the 'aluminium'
ones they are less than a tenner from the 'agent fiamma' website.

Hi Wardy
I'll guess you mean the canopy :) . I got it off Ebay ,I think it was £80.
I guess you will also be asking ! :)
Size its 3.5 meters long.
They are made in Italy by a company Fiamma, they are called a 'Caravanstore'. They are made of a plasticized waterproof material (so you can roll them up wet), made in various sizes but they are generally in half metre increments 2 metres, 2.5 metres 3.0 metres e.t.c, if you see them as 2.6 m, 3.1m e.t.c. they are measurements for the bag, which is obviously 10cms longer than the canopy is wide ! The canopy extends out 2.25 metres.You will need to budget an extra £20 (ish) for the 'awning rail' its an aluminium (figure 8)'tube' than fixes to the van & the Caravanstore 'slides into the rail', available from any decent caravan seller, in 12 foot lengths ! (near as dammit 3.5 metres :)). Mine came from Michael Jordan Caravans in Shere (near Leatherhead, Surrey). Canopy colours are 'Platinum' and 'Ocean', silver or blue to you & me. Front & side panels are available but you have to ensure you get the correct ones for the canopy. They 'change' they canopies every season & some have a big zip around so you can zip the side/front panels to it. If you are just after a canopy with out sides, theres a camping place down Exeter way that do a similar (less sophisticated but larger) canopy for £60.00 ish.
I'll try & get the website (URL ?) thingy. If its definitely a Caravanstore you want check out Towsure as they often have 'last seasons' on offer.
