Canopy/cover to fit at end of G
I'm looking for cover/canopy/tent type thing to form some weather protection at the end my G. I've no idea what they're called though I seem to remember seeing one on here some time ago. Basically we've decided to downsize and I thought it might be fun to flog off a lot of stuff at boot sales, but I don't want to get wet! The sort of thing I'm looking for is like a two legged tent with a couple of guys to each post and the other end fixed to the wagon. Anybody got any ideas?
Many thanks.
Do you mean one of these Ian?
I have a feeling that there are ex military tents designed for Land Rovers about too, they would be an ideal alternative as they vehicles share dimensions [swb]
Ah, that's good to know. Does that mean that anything that will fit a LR SWB will probably fit my SWB?
Thanks
Stles and design are limiting. Here is what I found.

I would think so they were both up for the same NATO contracts afterall
Many thanks Rakesh, it's a Fiamma I've decided upon. They do a 1.9 M side mounted retractable that I think will fit, I'm awaiting manufactures advice. I've tracked down a couple second hand at reasonable prices....so keeping my fingers crossed.

I spent several hours searching the net last night. Came to the conclusion that I'd be best with a side mounted retractable canopy, (now that I know they exist!). There's an Italian firm makes them, very pricy but occaisonally available second hand so I think that's the route I'll go.
