C rail + what kind of retractable canopy?

[elizabeth]

Hello!

 

I have a c rail fitted to my Toyota Alphard camper conversion. 

I'd like a retractable canopy. Which kind will be suitable?

Many thanks

Hello Elizabeth,

 

Welcome to the Forum.

 

Do you mean awning ?

 

If so there are several, at least, threads on the popular topic.

Thank you @Rojie

No, I mean a wind up canopy that is attached to the van.

Very difficult to get a clear sense of what is suitable. 

Many thanks

Hi @Rojie

 

Check out https://www.hillviewawnings.co.uk/ they can fit a wind out awning to an Alphard.

 

With the Alphard i understand it needs custom brackets and due to the shape of the roof line it does not fit flush when compared to say a VW camper, see the pics here, https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=856415616493641&set=a.370352065100001

 

Hopefully that helps.
