Can anyone recommend where to get a replacement from?
am going to try http://www.dormobile.co.uk/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.
This place also seems to do plastic and canvas..http://www.campershop.co.uk/dormobile.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; would prefer canvas I think but they seem to recommend plastic.
 
i think they recommend plastic because you have to make sure that the convas ones have thoroughly dried out or they have a tendency to mold and rot through.

it may be worth showing an upholsterer if your one is still in place and they may be more competitive not knowing the market of vw's
 
Someone recently enquired about the feasibility of making them...

racylady I believe drop her a pm and see what she says....
 
I got the canvas replaced at Dormobile. And also the ventcovers + all seals.
Great job, no problems!

I have a Dormobile roof parts catalogue as a word document if anyone wants it. It says it a 2007 list but I got sent it in July this year.

Taken from the document:
Replacement roof canopies

If you need you need to replace your canopy we can supply a new
Candy Stripe canopy matching the original green or red thin stripes.
Our canopy material is fire retardant, slightly thicker and has a tighter
weave to the coated fabric making it more resilient than that fitted
originally. Canopies are also available in the plain colours shown below,
The material is the same as the Candy Stripe canopies Velcro straps
for attachment to roof hoops and fitting advice supplied.
Candy Stripe red or green £320.00
Plain colours (White, royal blue, and silver grey) £240.00

Hope this helps
 
One for the mods, can a word doc be uploaded to the dormobile section in history?
 
Try Concept Sails, they have recently done lots of replacement roof canvas's and they even repaired my Canterbury Pitt one when I could not find anyone else to do it.
