[rupert the bay]

perfect for a savanagh biege bus

1st of the Devon Motents

Made in Harrogate, not Kent and in the original colour of sand Biege, rather than the later orange
this one even has tassles on the front and translucent roof 8) 8)

Some lovely awnings! I should imagine they smell just like our old house tent did, which we had in the 1970s!

My awning is a modern one (a Royal Traveller 3), but with a retro styling and very similar to the one in your photo below.

Loving the green one, even though I just bought a Raclet (eighties retro French) - got a price in mind ?

finding them thats the hard bit, so price depends on where you find them, i`ve been told by the mrs in no uncertain terms, i`ll lose my knackers if i ever sell that one, it looks so sweeeet on our eriba, matches the pop top perfectly

70's Motent for me too :mrgreen:

It's just about waterproof too until the rain pools in the roof :lol:

Cheers fella, my now outlaws saw an postcard on an ad board for a westy awning on our first proper camping trip in the bus a few years ago- twigged it wasn't a westy one but was a sucker for the stripy pelmets, and I may even be wrong about it being a Devon one but I'm pretty sure :mrgreen: I'll snap a close-up of the label when we get it out next weekend-hopefully won't need too much shelter but sod's law eh........ :lol:

 

[guidddo]

I'v got a nice old tent, and got it for free off the internet :lol:
but could not find niceer piccies off it

I love my og Westy awning :mrgreen:

I once found a quote on the late bay forum where they were discussing Westy awnings and someone posted a picture of my van and awning and commented ' Clems clean looking Westy attached to a big dirty rag' or similar :lol: :lol:

 

[rupert the bay]

lets see some pics of your big dirty rag then :lol:

 

[rupert the bay]

MANY thanks to Matt-me

not the best pics :roll:

but this seasons awning of choice for the familiar
Has a nice built in toilet tent, which the lady of the house LOVES for some reason :drunken:

cool thread 8)

 

[matt-me]

That's wicked Steve. So it did have an extension after all. How do you find it goes up? What was the knack?

Al

 

[rupert the bay]

yep, all poles are there.....i laid everything out and looked at it all for about 2hrs :?: :?: :?: :?:
was thinking there is no way it could go up with the poles there ?????

had a cup of tea, looked some more, then it all came together and made sense

its a tad too long for the eriba to fit perfect, but works all the same, just need to make a couple of brackets to make it fit right

mrs loves it .....as we all know, keep the mrs happy and your happy :lol:
