Would rather not pay + 200 notes if at all possible
hi old skool, there is a firm in bolton, lancs, who i deliver to called r s services, greenacre business park, howard st, they custom make tarpaulin covers, in any colour, size, etc, when i asked about a replacement for my pathfinder, they quoted about £120, was considering getting one as extra protection for winter, if you are interested in contacting them i will get the phone number for you, seem to always be busy making covers for showmens fairground rides and trailer covers,think they would be a lot cheaper and as good as a genuine pennine one, cheers, paul.
I've just acquired a 2005 Sterling and the cover was showing it's age and had some damage that I'm sure would leak. As I have no choice but to store it outside I contacted Tent Valeting services who arranged to collect the old cover to use as a template. The new cover is very well made but not cheap, about £200 including carriage but I need to make sure the camper is protected as well as I can. Terry at Camping International in Gillingham Kent very kindly lent me a cover from a Pullman while I waited for my new cover to be made. That only took about four days including the weekend.

Thanks for the mention Graham. We're in the process of negotiating deals with a number of suppliers at the moment, in an attempt to get the prices to a absolute minimum, as the general rule with most Pennine parts is; you wait a lifetime for a second hand one or you may a fortune for a new one, and we're trying to break that cycle if we can.
The option I use most is Under Cover C I. Looking at their site, now, they do a cover for a 1999 - 2000 Pathfinder, made to measure, for £138.50, so that's a reasonable guide as to what a new one would cost for a 2003.
It's not cheap, but a lot less than Pennine's own, and they do claim it's better quality than the Pennine ones, so, if you are struggling, might be worth checking them out.
------------- The one good thing about being wrong is the joy it brings to others..
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
