I have bean watching a few of these videos lots of over the top americans😉 you are a ginger genius my friend. iv bought 2 roller polls just need the tarp and a few other bits. Nice one bro
Spot on,, mine is removable ,,,just slides straight out the awning rail,,,I often think about upgrading the tarp but I like the idea of been able to change it very cheaply when needed,, would love to see your build if you record it
Hi buddy that's a great job I don't have a van but I'm going to doing something similar for my jeep as I'm hoping to go on a 3/4 day fishing trip around uk I'm in northern ireland so a brave few miles will be done. Just wondering where the lake is your at looking for venue ideas that we can drive up and park beside the swim. Any help much appreciated.
Great job. Just wondering why didn't attach the corners of the Tarp to the aluminium box section? The top of the pole goes through and locates it there anyway, so why not make it easier?
How did you attach the tarp to the van and your box metal thingy, male female bolts, do I just ask for them in diy shops, so an awning channel, with a bit that runs through? Then attach tarp to the bit that runs through ? Doesn’t it slip out ? Thanks for the vid.
ooh this is a good idea, would look good on my Primastar. Where did you get the length of square Aluminium from as I think this will be a lockdown project
Hi thanks was just from b&q good luck with the project,,,, I have a Facebook camping group ratpack outdoors and camping if you would like to drop some photos of the outcome atb mike
Custom fit to van, parts readily accessible anywhere there is a hardware store, and super easy to do. The ones for that price premade are so thin and flimsy that a good sneeze damages them. If I accidentally tear the tarp, I can pick on up pretty much anywhere, and be back up and running. To me, thats a lot of savings.
Love this mate. Looks solid. The horizontal pole really makes the difference. Thanks for sharing
Did mine much the same, then I realised mine was big enough to go over the van too to form a safari roof. Beware of the wind!!! Job done.
Genius, thanks for sharing, I was starting to overcomplicate it in my head, and watching your video has shown me the way
Fab idea, that’s my summer project sorted

@@jakeroadtonowhere4070 thank you, it was just a cheap 3x2 of ebay pal
Practical, cheap....looks good.
Impressive.
Looks good that mate, and like you said it doesn't look unsightly and goes well with the van.
You could pop rivet those corners of your tarp to the metal too to save time and energy.
Iv moved on to new vehicle and built a much improved version on my 4x4

Good job dude...... what size was the tarp?
What size is your tarp? Great job

I am going to shameless steal that idea with 1 slight mod ATB Kev
Interested to here about the mod??
How's it attached to the roof, is it leak proof there or does it drip through a bit?
The awning rail is bolted to the roof rack mounts, which is set back about 4" on the roof so no drips or leaks at all
What size tarp ? I'm pricing bits up to make one.
I used a 3m×2m cheapest on ebay about £8

@GINGER OUT & ABOUT Mega thanks mate tight lines 🤟
Northern ingenuity, love it.
You can buy these commercially from ALDI for about 75Quid. So not sure where the real savings are.
In the uk?? Any link as iv never seen them and would snap them up if actually real

Boilies mate? Didn't realise you were a carper. Is that A1?
No I'm on hayton lakes,,,worth looking up it's a cracking complex
What kind of extension poles does you use for the sides?
Just extendable roller paint poles about £5 each now
@@GINGER_out_and_about ok thanks! I'm in illinois in America. You in Australia? Or is that a dumb question? LOL
