Hi all, just wondering has anybody bought or had made a screen for the caravan side so as to act as protection for the fridge, and windows from the sun, as well as using it for another sitting area when weather changes. Also to be able to park car under is necessary. Any info greatly appreciated. The measurements are 5 metres long and 3 metres wide. We already have the track on the van. Rgds gitsho

I am getting rope track fitted along the top edge, full length, off side, so I can put a screen there for shade on that side of van.

Any canvas fabricator will make a cover for you to thread into the sail track you have fitted.

we bought 90% shade mesh from Bunnings and took it to an upholsterer. He sewed the rope into the top edge and put large eyelets in the other 3 sides for either anchoring to the ground or can be raised as an awning using tent poles. Just be aware that there are 2 sizes of track so ensure you get the right size rope edge.

I had 'The Awning Man' fit a sail track along the roof top edge & brought a full length mesh screen from Coast to Coast.
Can use it as shade for the fridge side when pegged down like a lean to, or as a shade area for parking the Patrol etc. by using a couple of poles to hold it up like a roof.

We had one made but only big enough to shade the fridge area, a full length one is better.
