    Use 600 denier waterproof canvas which you can get on eBay

    600 denier they wouldn't be able to walk in them, and would do some serious chaffing around the nice area

    If your not too worried about looks, just but a tarp, secure it in the gutter with pole n clamps, jobs a good un, and not that expensive either....

  12. Ahem, not too worried about looks? I feel a tarp would ruin the pleasing aesthetics of my bus :baggy:​
     
  13. Could you not sew together many pairs of old underpants?
     
  14. You can wear what you want in the privacy of your own home but you don't have to share it with us:eek:





    And we definitely don't want pictures!

    I'm fairly sure the canopy on our space roof poptop is made from this stuff: http://www.pennineoutdoor.co.uk/fabrics/p76-odyssey.
    As per their description:
    "100% polyester, impregnation coated. It is high strength but with good stability. It is mildew and ultraviolet resistant. It is produced with a clear seal coat so has a high degree of water resistance. Good for light weight boat covers and canopies, marine upholstery and outdoor cushion covers etc."

    I'd quite like to make a matching awning for ours when she's back on the road, so I'll be intrigued to see what you come up with.
