Anyone got one sitting in a shed that they no longer use?

Looking for one of any color to fit a 15ft van

Thanks

some of the fabric on that site closely matches my traditional vintage wooden deck chairs and loungers!

I will soon be offering vintage style canopies to your spec for our vintage caravans. On wooden poles, in traditional canvass or modern materials.

I can also offer recanvassing of metal framed awnings and drive away awnings for classic camper vans etc

Deckchairs, windbreaks etc all available in excellent vintage stripes.

This service will be up and running in autumn as I am currently having my workshop rebuilt.

I would be interested in a sun conopy. Have taken the dimentions of a nice one that a friend has.

Even need the cushions for my Vogue. They are just about the last thing I need to complete. I have the -plan- of these (thanks to Peter Jolly)

Wondering if you could give me a price for these if I send you the information about them. Cheers, Alan

Hi Knowlsely. I've just got back from my 12 week Euro jaunt, and spotted your post. I haven't got a sun canopy, but I do have a 1972 Poulard full awning, which is surplus to requirements.It's available free to anyone who will use it,(ie, not put it straight up for sale on ebay!!) 07811839187 will get me if anyone's interested.

thanks for the offer emmerson

Hope you had a good 3 month trip towing the royale

I had an old poulard awning with my first knowsley van so really looking for a sun awning this time, likewise I've also got a very old orange and brown awning which come with the royale, typical 1970's vogue, used it once but tend to use a bigger awning i had with another van with my vintage porch awning on the other side of the van.

are you coming to devon next month for the royale rally?

david

Yes Dave, we'll be in Devon, but probably in the old Touranger, as I don't think I'll have time to get the big 'un fixed by then. (see ECCR post)
If you know anyone who wants a period awning, give me a ring.
