proppa tonneau cover

[Steve Bullman]

has anyone come across one of these? i was looking at an armadillo originally but there are about 40% cheaper. according to them, the only difference is the armadillo can take 1000lbs whereas this one only 400lbs which is ample.

Steve,

 

I bought my canopy for my pick up from Proppa. Nightmare for geting it delivered. But I did manage to haggle. The sales desk people are on targets. So ring last thing of the day and be cheeky. Someone might be desperate to clinch a deal.

Got over £100 and free cheapo ladder rack. The fittings were crap though. Had to get it drilled and bolted.

Can't beat a colour coded Truckman type top imo, Snugtop etc

[Steve Bullman]

not interested in top....definately want a roller top, im just interested to see if these compare to the armadillo and if i should pay the extra for an armadillo or not.

 

doug, what pickup do you have? this is for a navara and apparently should clamp straight on

[Doug Blease]

Navara D22. You get clamps and rivets. But there is too much play in the mechanism. It squeeks like an injured rabbit, and if you hit a bump whilst zooming across a grass field chasing cattle, it will just break the clamps.

 

Its a good big canopy though. Only thing with a roller is the obvious. You will only be able to use it if everything fits underneath. But when its shut, maybe a felling bar or something may slip upwards and stop you being able to roll it up.

Very annoying = big rage = broken roller = buying canopy!

I,m sure a coach builder would make a bespoke one . Just a thought . Would be more robust .

Dont go chasing cows Steve and youll be ok

[Steve Bullman]

i dont plan on putting anything in it other than saws etc so space isnt an issue.

[Doug Blease]

Go for it! The products they sell are cheaper copies of the better branded stuff. But its ok stuff. Like I said, watch the delivery and haggle on the price.

Steve,

 

Worth having a look at these also:

 

Samson Hinged Top Covers | N & J Aluminium Linings Ltd

 

They are alot stronger than the roller type lids.

 

And shiney!!
