@crustt, 2 questions? Did you buy the front box already made (looks like an Apex one) and do you have any tips on where to buy the tables cheap. They seem to range from $220 to $280. Van looks great.

 

[crustt]

Yeah, was $480 from Campbellfield, corner of Sydney rd. and barry rd.

The table is a coast to coast, I got it from Jayco in geelong for $280, they reckon that is what they will be fitting in the factory shortly.

Made these today after getting afew smaller insects in , made from finemesh, also the vinyl along the bottom keeps it from shrinking like most of the original flywires, very few of them are square because of that.

 

[crustt]

Made these yesterday, a cover for the awning as I don't like the sun hitting that top edge all the time. And a cover for jerry cans for the same reason, also if someone wants to tamper with them they have to find the clips for the cover .

 

[macca]

So how much$$ for an awning cover @crust if I give you the measurement of my awning?

 

[crustt]

$75 including postage, that is just for the cover, you need to get the keder track yourself. That's for any length up to 5 meters and they will be all 250mm wide.Thanks mate

 

[jacbaz]

Can see me measuring as well @crustt !!!

 

[achjimmy]

Love your work crustt

 

[dagree]

Brilliant idea for the awning cover @crustt .. If ever the need arises that we have to park the van in the open I'll be getting in touch with you also!

 

[crustt]

It's not my idea, I just copied it really from some Pics Bushman posted Awning Cover
and i thought I could improve on it and make it a bit cheaper, dagree my van is stored under cover but I thought why not protect it whilst on the the road. The thing I really like is that the seam long the top that is under the most strain will never see the sun again.

 

[Crusty181]

For you guys that store outside. The awning stitching along the sail track edge takes a beating from the sun and rots out. I smeared silicon over the stitching. Silicon is UV stable and protects the stitching.

It works, because my sail track stitching was good after 5 years outside and the stitching on the folded side rotted close to the sail track edge where i hadnt run the silicon. Good for Crustt covers too

Ask Jayco to supply the stickers the table covers. I got them from Jayco for mine at no cost and put them on. Looks like its supposed to be there.

 

[crustt]

Did you get in touch with Jayco direct? When I bought the table I asked about the stickers and from memory they mentioned over a hundred dollars and my eyes glazed over and I all of a sudden didn't care what it looked like. But yeah that would be great.

 

[Danniel jenkins]

I got it through the dealer and they fitted it. When I picked it up it had no stickers. Jayco sent them to my address.

 

[crustt]

Yeah, I installed myself and that is probably the difference.

 

[crustt]

I was at the dealer yesterday, looked up the price of the stickers, $80 each I needed 3

 

[Crusty181]

..... I should have bought my van without stickers, would have saved a fortune

 

[macca]

Surely it would be for a set. I did see on here once someone ordered a van without decals.

 

[Crusty181]

I got a price list to replace some faded stickers ........ and there wasn't too many individual stickers for under $80.
