Hello all,  We have just bought a 1992 camplet Concorde and would like a Suncanopy for extra rain protection but the price for a new one from Camper lands is too much for me.

Just wondered if anyone has one that they dont use and would like to sell or if you know of any good alternatives I would be very grateful.

Kind Regards,  Joules

Not sure whether this would work for you but we have made a sun canopy for our Pennine Pullman with a Dorema Capri Caravan Sun Canopy. It took me a while to establish what size I would need as caravan awnings (and sun canopies) are sold in sizes 4 to 12 (or something like that). It's grey btw so fairly neutral.

I spotted a size 8 for sale on ebay and messaged the seller to ask him the exact measurement and it was 535 cms - the exact length of our Pullman. So I bid on it and won. We had to do a bit of work on it. We cut off the awning rail cord next to the seam to give us a flat edge, then we used the eyelet kit supplied to make holes for the ties to go through and others about a foot in for the stub canopy poles to go through. 

The canvas around the middle eyelet tore a bit on our last outing so I am going to stitch some reinforcing canvas over it and re-do the eyelet. Cost me less than £50 but they are only £120 brand new  and a sun canopy, in my opinion, is worth it's weight in gold.......well maybe not quite that much but it doesn't half make a difference to our camps.
