I'm looking to buy an eighties-era Jayco Swan (when I can find a decent example). Most have annexes only the length of the van body. I'd like to get a full length annex made up, so it extends at least from bed end to bed end. Also, if I raise the suspension, any original annex won't reach the ground so I'll be up for cost to modify the annex anyway.
Now, most of the original annexes are full canvass, but a lot of modern caravans have annexes made from vinyl looking material (to match the pullout awnings).
So, a couple of questions:
Is the vinyl a good option compared to canvas?
Is the vinyl cheaper than canvas?
Seems vinyl would be lighter?
Is it long-lived?
Downside would be that vinyl sweats?
What would be a ballpark cost to get an annex made (I'm thinking 20' long with a couple of separate zipped panels for versatility, end and side screened windows)?
