Westy Canvas

[Matt84]

Hi all,

I've done a search and this has come up a few times but not in recent years - time to replace my Westy canvas

I've narrowed it down to two options I think, the Schofields one (made by Wolfsburg West I believe) looks to be the best but is now an eye watering £755!

Schofields Canvas

Or the other option is the Custom & Commercial one at a slightly more reasonable £390.

C&C Canvas

This one is made by C&C themselves and I was wondering if anyone has any experience with either canvas and do you think that as C&C make it themselves it will be of good quality (and fit!).

Also, my bus is a 1970, would it originally have been orange/yellow or tan? Any ideas why VW chose those colours (other than to attract the local insects!)
I'm hoping my daughter is going to sleep up there so currently
leaning towards a darker colour just so she doesn't get up too early in the summer!

Any help gratefully received!

Some pics of my bus below cos I'm proud of her and well, why not right!?

bus depot canvas is nice

$320 usf or $256 gbp
they have a few options for colors and materials. We went with the tan because it matches well with the ezy awning and orange/yellow sucks for a tent color in the summer

Looks like the bus depot one allows the pop top to raise a fair bit higher?
