  1. Hi i bought this Awning off my friend who doesnt need it anymore . Poor bloke has cancer :(.I did it as a favour really as he was a bit hard up and needed some funds. Im not sure it fits in with what i want so i asked him if he minded if i sold it. d :Dont Know what its worth but ive heard since they are quite rare?? If i can sell it and get a reasonable price i could give him the money. Any ideas ?? its manufactured by Bradcot of Harrogate, Devon Motent, Sold exclusively in Great Britain buy Devon Conversions LTD Sidmouth. ITS Light Fawnybrown trimmed with blue skirt and window sides, Clear window in front , mesh one side, opening other and at back for entry to van. Might need some new rubber bands but generally its in good order and have original guy ropes etc . Has a different material roof which is good it alows light through ( No not holes). Im gona try and put it up later and take a pic cos im sure thats what ill get asked ,just testing ground before i waste my time lol. :)

    Right Barney , if you won't tell me what you want for it i'm gonna come and nick it ;D

    Anyone know the going rate for one of these here awnings ??.
     
  11. Thanks for that yorkshirecampers , I did hope for less than half that, OR swap for jaffa one similar or smaller. Malc is thinking at mo. Cheers everyone for your help will keep you posted. :)
     
  12. One just sold on the other bay for £275 too! ;)

    So think that must be about the right price! Never seen them before then all of a sudden you see several! Isn't that always the way!

    Good luck with whatever decision you make! From what we read on the previous link mentioned above, these beige ones came with the devons and the orange ones the westies. Is that right?

  15. Bargain ;)
     
  16. going to sell it though as I've never used it ,cant be arsed putting it up when theres only me in the van - impulse buy.
    plus its so bulky.
     
  17. Well it if anyones interested in the rare one, im only trying to do a mate a favour and get a realistic price for it, if anyones interested send me a PM.As most have already probably seen it now not worth putting it in an ad. I will probably take it to a few shows, as probabaly easier ,cos it would probably cost to much to post unless your local.Cheers for looking and everyones help. 8)
