Title: Any suggestions where to get a new camper trailer cover made.
Post by: McGirr on July 14, 2014, 03:09:57 PM

The zip on the camper trailer cover broke on the Cape Trip this year and have decided to get a new one made. Its standard 7 x 4 top and attached on a sail track.

Any suggestions where I can get one made at a reasonable place.

Mark

Called them and they want $250 just to put a new zip on. I expect to pay around the $400 to $450

Any chance you could post up whether he's a goer please, Mark? We're thinking we'd like a taller cover for the Tambo. Ours doesn't have a zip, so should be a bit cheaper.

I also seem to remember there's a canvas guy in Mareeba. I should be driving past on Sunday so will try and take note of the name.

I am getting a new one this week for my Lifestyle - by the Lifestyle team. It comes in an extra large height as an option so we can keep more stuff on the bed whilst on a trip to save time packing/unpacking. Sounds pretty useful that.

$350 for the cover (unfitted of course)
