Not sure what you're thinking of. I posted this

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150666124800? ... 1423.l2648

as a possibility: haven't seen one in the flesh though.

Otherwise there was a thread about a 10 x 10 'sit under cover' from Canada for £8-9, and you're right, I can't find it anymore either. It wasn't an 'attach to van' thing though..

I just bought a Kyam Sun Canopy from eBay. I hope I can get this in time to have a play with it Looe. Its not a flat canopy though like this one. These are designed for tents to add an extra room, but fit a Bongo going over the roof and covering the sliding door. I saw one at Yelverton last May and was very impressed. A bigger and more complicated bit of kit than Jilly's but does a similar job.

Beware cheap sun canopies. I have one in my Bongo kit disasters collection. About £25 and for fair weather campers only. I tried this on a Dorset hilltop in August. Useless, the legs were far to lightweight to withstand the wind and nothing would hold it down. It had to be taken down before the PVC sheet ripped. It joined the Lidl windbreak, that is held up only by guy ropes and will stay up when there is no wind.

Hi, I think you mean this one: 160860206428

It ended Thursday morning. There seemed to be a few people ordering more than one so you never know, they may pop up for sale here?

I managed to order one but I'll believe it when I see it! Hopefully I'm wrong but you know what they say; when something appears too good to be true, it probably is!

I've just noticed that it's here

for £43 + £38 postage!
