Hi George,

Like the setup, planning to install something simular in the near future.

Where did you buy the cable, connectors ect?

Please post a pic of your canopy, almost ready to start with mine but not 100% happy with my design. Need some ideas on how to fit the frame to the loadbin......

Thanks, dit lyk nou bakgat. Jou canopy se frame is ook mos van mildsteel, is die kappie baie swaar? En hoe is die frame op die bak vas?

Ons moet nou plan maak om die tente te toets, is daar al 'n trip gereel vir einde Maart begin April?
