Anyone seen Troopyman lately??
Have a question or two about his
Foxwing Awning.
Can't MM him as he's not a member :-((

John,
I had a really good look at it at the 4x4 show on Friday. Mate has just bought 2 of the Oztent RV5's so we were interested in the awning. A great unit. Rhino Rack were also plugging it at their stand. If it'd fit on the new ute (which is unlikely) I'd have one for sure.
Cheers Mick

Mick,
Don't buy a thing until you get the new vehicle! You are in the danger period where you might buy something thats great on a station wagon and useless on the traytop!
We don't bother with awnings - our lift up side doors provide the shade and shelter that we need 99% of the time. On the rare occasions we want an awning, we hang a 16foot x 8 foot tarp off the side - just hooks onto the top of my canopy and runs the length of the vehicle to the bullbar. Heaps of space.
Cheers
phil

Thanks Phil,
believe me my hands are firmly in my pockets. Have to pay for the ute yet. I know that the awning will not fit on my planned configeration. Have a few concepts re canvasswork but only after I have the pods built.
Cheers
Mick

Yeah thanks Mick.
I was at the show on Sunday and thought it was a very good show.
The
Foxwing caught my eye also and after some research on here and elsewhere found out Troopyman has had one on his Troopy for a few months now.
He posted a photo
Here back in May.
Just wanted to get some
feedback from him after having owned one for a few months and particularly as its fitted to a Troopy.

John, I did a google search and it seems 'Troopyman' (same one??) is active on 4wd action
forum, so perhaps try there. Cheers

Yeah thanks mate I did the same and saw that also.
I'm not a member of any other
forum, was once a longtime ago but lost interest as most are so slow, also could not be bothered with all the crap associated with becoming signing up to be a member of other forums.
Was also worried that it may not be the same Troopyman.

troopys are very dangerous
they roll very easy
and you see people with tinny on roof racks make them any more
likely to roll
i roll one it was pretty bad

unfortunately I'm familiar with the above poster from another
forum (or two). He has a tendency to be a serial poster of off-topic semi-comprehensive drivel at times ... I would suggest you don't rise..

bazza, some gentle advice.
Serial off-topic posting of the style you use over in LPTT-Oz branch will not endear you to the regulars here. There's some fairly knowledgeable posters here. You'll probably find they wont be as tolerant as the crew over at Thorntree. Would suggest you try to research before you post.
