Hoping that someone may be able to assist....

We're currently in WA and will be travelling to Esperance, Albany, then all up the west coast.

We have an awning on the van, and have come away with just a side wall of our canvas annexe (by choice) but are thinking that we would like to have a custom made shade cloth annexe wall made for the length of the awning given many of the warm areas we will visit. We have seen them on vans in our travels but haven't made any enquiries.

Can anyone recommend a suitable place in WA that we could call into on our travels that could make one for us, also, for people that have these already, is there anything particular we should be looking for when purchasing?

Your help is most appreciated.

Crumps Canvas in Albany are one of the best.
I've used them to do a custom job and was very pleased with the finished job.
Price was reasonable too.

Their Contact Number is 08 9841 3866 and their works are at 23-25 Locke St in Albany (more or less behind Bunnings.

Hope this helps.

Disco.

Hi Disco Driver,

I thought you would be keen to know that we arrived in Albany and took a visit to Crumps Canvas.

We are so grateful for the referral - we saw them on Wednesday and our new shade was ready on Thursday!

They've done a fantastic job....to cut a long story short, they have created a long wall for our awning in shade cloth, cut it down the middle and installed zips so we can use either half or the whole thing - and then the far end also has a zip so it can be used with our original annexe wall (if we want to use it as a wind break).

The quality is fantastic, and to top things off we can even use one of the halves on the other side of the van on the track already there to help keep the sun off the fridge/freezer - it's turned out very multifunctional.

Thanks again for the referral, it was a real winner!

Linda.
