Final Stages. The awning.

An extension from the rear of the vehicle has always been a fundamental part of the design. It will provide space, shelter and privacy when needed.

The cost of getting one made commercially was not in the budget so I decided to make it myself.
I purchased a light weight poly/cotton canvas. Green was the only colour in stock so green it is.
My little Brother sewing machine could not handle the thickness so I bought a 1937 Singer model 99 for 80 dollars and it works a treat.
