ebay is just another place to buy and sell items. I have had many many bargains but I never buy without checking out prices from a variety of sources. Any body that does not do this deserves to pay over the odds.

Quite often you will see used items being sold in the Amazon market place for more than the equivalent new items being sold @

Just use common sense and you will often pick up a bargain.

You'll need an industrial machine with some different feeders that will push the canvas through, like wot I got.

really?.. Fancy sewing me an awning? :)

Or can i hire one of those machines for a weekend?, and then ask my mum for a hand with it?

I've got a feeling that all-wheel trim will want a lot more money than i have to make one for me :(. Might e-mail and enquire later anyhow, but i think that finding someone somewhere with a sewing machine that'll do just the bits i want would be a lot cheaper.. I can't see just the fabric being that much... My awning plans so far are very simple too, with no complicated bits!

you can edit the category out of ebay things, if you prefer. it'll work with just the item number.

Yep - Hanno, mad German exile - living happily in Oxfordshire.

You have met him, at Marque Day last year - albeit briefly.

Hanno makes all of the various tilts - including a number of very specialist commissions, for All Wheel Trim in Whitney

Nope, not really.

You might be able too. I know that we used to hire industrial lockstitch machines, but on a monthly basis. Don't even think about trying to do something like this with a domestic machine. They just aren't built for it. Ours is an old Singer Industrial machine that we took to the Singer factory in Leicester, had it overhauled and new feeders etc fitted. They also sell old trade in machines for a fairly reasonable price.

There is an awning alterations at Syston I can give you the phone number of if you are interested. Although we didn't actually get her to do the work, she did supply us with some fabric and advice to repair our old awning which got torn very badly when we went to Mablethorpe one year, arrived there only to find that they hadn't supplied all the poles. Within hours of managing to put something together until everywhere opened after the bank holiday, we had gales which tore it at the corner along the top edge and down the front. Have a look in the yellow pages for awning alterations, or the back of one of the caravan magazines for a more local company.

You could also buy a tent and get it altered to suit.

Some more pics - only a few, to go up this weekend. Not a lot of progress at present - mainly clearing old bits of tree out and trying to pull the tilt on. Oh, there is a new stainless steel fuel tank - in the back (waiting for a filler hose)... Tim?
