Welcome to msywag, make sure you start a build thread. You might be struggling to find an 8x5 camper top, most are 7x5.

Hi and Welcome. Where in Gippsland are you. There is a canvas joint in Traralgon who could make you a custom tent. The make tents for a camper manufacturer in Melbourne.

Hi Cloakle,

Welcome from another Gippslander - where do you hale from?  I think Tambo get there canvas done in Gippsland.  Southern Cross in Bayswater may be able to assist or Outback down seaford way.
