    They’re a lot of money but such good quality… we’ve now added a roof top tent and will be living out of our Landcruiser and Norweld for the next 6 months. 👍😊

    Nice Canopy guys , we got a piece of stainless folded to sit on the top edges of our draw for a food prep/ work area that just stayed on there ( Unhinged just sat there good as ) best thing ever. If you hinge it you loose the ease to get in the back of the draw. 👍👍

    That sounds awesome. We were thinking of getting something made up but Norweld have now made one that you can purchase. It will definitely be a game changer as we want it as a cooking bench 😀

    I understand the gripes with the trundle draw, however as someone who uses this daily, a locking slide and lid on these is nothing more than pure utter frustration.

    That makes sense, you wouldn’t want to muck around too much. We’ve since bought the lid from Norweld that doesn’t lock, it’s great to put our cooker on out the back and you can just lift it up if you need something underneath 👍🤩

    I have a Norweld compact canopy on my Ranger. Unfortunately the locks have been a real pain requiring replacement on several occasions - including a few days after I picked it up. On a Simpson Desert crossing last year I had further issues with compression locks having to be tightened twice a day as I just couldn’t get them tight enough to stay done up on the corrugations which led to major dusting of the canopy. Aside from that, they are built tough though 😀 And no issues on mine aside from the locks.

    Sorry to hear that. We have had trouble with one of the locks, we adjusted it and it seems to be working fine. We will be checking them more often after hearing about your experience 😀

    just a quick question, insurance? is the canopy, water tanks etc etc insured as one unit with the 79 or added on as an extra onto the insurance as attachments? great informative vids

    If I remember right, the canopy added about 500kgs… before we headed off we loaded up and got weighed at the local weigh bridge, approx 3.6 👍😊

    @@turtletrackstravels thanks guys, much appreciated. While I've got you. :) I've been told to get the axle correction if I'm towing as the ball weight loads up the rear axle and accentuates the darting/crabbing when you hit truck ruts and this can cause a bit of sway which then transfers to the van. Have you felt this at all?

    Love your review, but in Australia don't mention your extra stuff as " bits and Bobs" ! It drives Aussies crazy and I know you are Pom's but get into the swing of Aussie Lingo. Its called " Extra Stuff " ! Outside of that , an awesome walk through of a NORWELD Canopy guys.
