Hi @nnie
How is the canvas bed end attached and can you leave it on when packing up for travel? Van looks great, Kim

@ckcklopic , the bed end attach to the top with clips, you remove the privacy screen and attach the bed end on the same studs used for the privacy screen. We haven't used it yet, went away for the long weekend and we had sunshine without any rain, so the bed end is still folded up neatly and stored away.

Hi @nnie,
Congrats on your purchase. The 14.44-4 Expanda's are becoming very popular.
We just took delivery of our 14.44-4ob last month and also has the remote mover fitted as we have a tight fit under our carport. Best remote control toy I have ever bought and well worth the investment. Started doing some mods. Have added extra 12 volt outlets both inside and outside the van.
Cheers
Nick

@Rockape , we are very impressed with our mover. It's so easy to move the van now, no more "domestics" trying to get the van parked. And the kids can come out of hiding too!!

Hi @nnie, have you used your canvas bed end yet? Do you mind if I ask the price for one as I'm looking at getting one for our 14.44-4!

Hi @Nagga's ,we got the bed end from Not Just Canvas, and it was about $400. We've used it, and it works fantastic. Kept the rain out and the bedding dry. We are very happy that we've bought it, worth every cent!

Can you leave it attached when you fold the bed end up?

Kakadu Annexes also do the bed ends at $500 each or $900 for 2 (In Vinal). They fit sail track around the edge of the lid and the BE slides on there. Takes about 5 mins to fit and must be removed to close the lid. Works perfectly in torrential rain. Price was fitted at Jayco dealership.

Hey guys, we got ours from Holiday Annexes and love them. Around the same price as above. I can't get over the insulation that they do for the van. A sail track is fitted to lid and in they go. They can't be left in all the time due to the way they are installed with the sail track. I do think though that being installed this was is great as it gives maximum distance from the actual bed end as possible therefore not touching the bed end canvas.
