Few steps closer to sorting my Sankey camping setup. I used to use an old caravan awning hung off the side of my 110

Now I have my Sankey plus a top I can attach it to that and have my motor mobile. A couple of sheets of marine ply later and I have this.

All the panels fix to the trailer and when travelling can be strapped to the roofrack on the trailer.
Whilst I'm waiting for the awning rail the boy and I blobbed some paint on, you can just see the two other panels on the roofrack in their storage position.

I don't want to tie up the trailer in just a camping mode as it's too useful for other purposes.
Future ideas are a hatch in the side to allow access from under the awning for cooking/storage etc, I will put a ply platform inside the trailer on top of the wheel arches and use that for sleeping on with storage underneath, line the Ifor conopy with insulating foam and have a box for a leisure battery with charging via a 12N socket off the tow vehicle and have an inverter and perhaps an electric hook up thingy like on a caravan.

Oops, that's not good. Sad Guess you will need to plan a little trip to Gland soon... Hope you get it sorted without costing an arm and a leg. Thumbs Up
Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

Eric, will try to fix it myself, Gland would cost a fortune that said he has a black roof lying around but not sure I want to play around with removing the roof. 1997 Defender 90 300tdi

Strip the headlining out then Cut a block of wood to fit to the inner curve of the back of the roof then put the wood in place inside and hit the wood carefully with a sledge hammer until it all looks reasonably in the right place. Then seal where appropriate Mr. Green Ray
