[QUOTE="kawman, post: 89901, member: 917"] be carefull a lot of aussie camper trailers are fitted with chinease covers and mounting kits.. I have repaired dozens of them... they look like they are made of ripstop canvas that they say is 16 oz canvas. it is only really 6 oz fake lookalike ripstop that is mostly cotton.. the frames are very thin and fail very quickly. the eyelets are only thin plate and pull out... the widow meshes and door meshes are made of crap and dissintergrate.. all the zippers are a weird ass size and we do not have spares in aus to fix them when they quickly die... I did just on $1000 worth of repairs to one of them.. That tent was only used once...... the poor guy traded it for a van. The chinease tents are very cheap and nasty but look great to the novice with all the windows/doors/zips ect... google up "trailer tent" and you will find them.. :) [/QUOTE]
