Separate Units:
Alternatively, there are cost effective separate units available CBE Carbon Monoxide and a
separate gas/butane, And they can be put in he best place, try eBay or Amazon expect to
pay less than £20 each.
Awning systems
There are multiple choices here. The reason a particular system has not been fitted is due
to the very different choices and functions available. Some campervans have a large unit
with a pull out awning. A common example are the Fiamma F45s wind out awning and the
Thule awning systems. While this provides a nice solution, there is a massive drawback of
significant wind resistance, effecting both fuel economy and wind noise.
There are options of using a smaller rail ('C' profile rail) (Eg Remo Rail system) that attach
to the standard VW fixing points for the roof rack. With the pop top some of these fixings
are not available towards the rear. However, most C profile rails can be fitted in sections,
there are much less expensive options for 'C' profile rails that are arguably more efficient
as the sit under the pop top roof thus not affecting the wind resistance of the vehicle..
There is also the possibility of simply using the VW fixing points and the fixing points for the
pop top hinges to attach a 'loop' system whereby the awning is linked to a simple hook at
several points at roof height. Every system requires some sort of poles, these are built in to
the larger system but having a system that is erected using hooks and separate poles will
take only a little longer. This creates a cost effective solution without having to install any
permanent fixing.
The other main question for selection is do you wish to drive away and leave the awning
up. This question dictates the solutions available.
