I have bean watching a few of these videos lots of over the top americans😉 you are a ginger genius my friend. iv bought 2 roller polls just need the tarp and a few other bits. Nice one bro
Spot on,, mine is removable ,,,just slides straight out the awning rail,,,I often think about upgrading the tarp but I like the idea of been able to change it very cheaply when needed,, would love to see your build if you record it
Hi buddy that's a great job I don't have a van but I'm going to doing something similar for my jeep as I'm hoping to go on a 3/4 day fishing trip around uk I'm in northern ireland so a brave few miles will be done. Just wondering where the lake is your at looking for venue ideas that we can drive up and park beside the swim. Any help much appreciated.
Great job. Just wondering why didn't attach the corners of the Tarp to the aluminium box section? The top of the pole goes through and locates it there anyway, so why not make it easier?
ooh this is a good idea, would look good on my Primastar. Where did you get the length of square Aluminium from as I think this will be a lockdown project
Hi thanks was just from b&q good luck with the project,,,, I have a Facebook camping group ratpack outdoors and camping if you would like to drop some photos of the outcome atb mike
How did you attach the tarp to the van and your box metal thingy, male female bolts, do I just ask for them in diy shops, so an awning channel, with a bit that runs through? Then attach tarp to the bit that runs through ? Doesn’t it slip out ? Thanks for the vid.
Custom fit to van, parts readily accessible anywhere there is a hardware store, and super easy to do. The ones for that price premade are so thin and flimsy that a good sneeze damages them. If I accidentally tear the tarp, I can pick on up pretty much anywhere, and be back up and running. To me, thats a lot of savings.
Love this mate. Looks solid. The horizontal pole really makes the difference. Thanks for sharing
Genius, thanks for sharing, I was starting to overcomplicate it in my head, and watching your video has shown me the way
Did mine much the same, then I realised mine was big enough to go over the van too to form a safari roof. Beware of the wind!!! Job done.
Fab idea, that’s my summer project sorted
Nice . 👌. Guide ropes only if necessary .. i like that. I’m always tripping on the blooming things.
I DO like to see stuff made from scratch,
nice job Mike, that red is pretty pretty damn close too :)
Cheers brother I really like it and its very functional

Nice awning Mike. I am going to have a go with my 3x3 DD tarp.

Cracking job
Practical, shall make for my car...thank you for tips 😁
You could pop rivet those corners of your tarp to the metal too to save time and energy.
Iv moved on to new vehicle and built a much improved version on my 4x4
Looks good that mate, and like you said it doesn't look unsightly and goes well with the van.
Great film on he awning. what ponies are you using for the legs?
Paint roller poles
Great job. Just wondering why didn't attach the corners of the Tarp to the aluminium box section? The top of the pole goes through and locates it there anyway, so why not make it easier?

looks reaaly good
Good job mike ATB Dog
Great idea 👍 sponsored by #mainlinebaits 😊🎣👍
Thank you,,, feel free to send some bait any time 👍🏻
Impressive.
Hi have you got a full van tour video thanks
Boilies mate? Didn't realise you were a carper. Is that A1?
No I'm on hayton lakes,,,worth looking up it's a cracking complex
How's it attached to the roof, is it leak proof there or does it drip through a bit?
The awning rail is bolted to the roof rack mounts, which is set back about 4" on the roof so no drips or leaks at all
I am going to shameless steal that idea with 1 slight mod ATB Kev
Interested to here about the mod??
You can buy these commercially from ALDI for about 75Quid. So not sure where the real savings are.
In the uk?? Any link as iv never seen them and would snap them up if actually real

What size tarp ? I'm pricing bits up to make one.
I used a 3m×2m cheapest on ebay about £8
