Yes and no .... they'll probably now release the covers that fit the 2015 lids. Bah ha ha
That would not surprise me. I will get Australiawide to give me a quote on some custom ones.
I noticed at the caravan and camping show the new hard lids, also noticed that they mount the plastic fittings that the covers slide into, in about 8 inches from the outside edge. There seems to be a lot more criss cross strengthening within the lid on the underside covered in fiberglass so gives a lot more options to screw in the plastic track. Plus then you would not have the problems of storm covers being so tight and only just fitting.
Thanks Barney, that is what I was hoping. I want to leave the privacy screens on like the std Jayco ones and have a secondary sail track for the storm covers. Sounds like this would be possible. Has anyone got a 2016 with privacy screens and can they stay on when packing up?
After talking with the sales people at the show, I get the feeling they are pushing just to have storm covers only and not the shadecloth privacy screens. His words were "thats why they have the flyscreen section in them, to act as a privacy screen". Because if you think about it, where does the fly screen piece of the storm covers really stop fly from going.
Good point, I wonder if you would be able to leave the storm cover fitted when packing up.
Hi Alaska, I have seen those ones but would like to know if anyone has fitted them to a 2016. I can get some made up at Austaliawide Annexes just like those ones but made with canvas so it will match in with our ultimate annexe. Just waiting to see if we will need them.
