Would like one of these, but can someone please explain how Cabanon can justify £218?

They are getting a bit greedy. You can buy a complete Hypercamp Rosas for around the same money, it's just too much.

Anyone bought one?

Is this the proper cabanon one now?

Sure he didn't charge that much for the ones he had made last season?

Is it actually a Cabanon product then? Or something Forest Camping is having made because I've not seen it advertised anywhere else???

I got the sun canopy from Forest & used 1st time over Easter. Yes pricey, does not join to the Guadeloupe (there's a gap) - one piece velcro on either side but I'll try pitching a bit different next time. Invaluable for cooking under, didnt leak (torrential rain all day!) and extreme wind all night (I thought the whole lot would blow away!) but all withstood the extreme weather.

I wonder if that is a Cabanon manufactured Sun-Canopy, my 2008 & 2009 price lists and catalogue only give details for the Side Canopy (G0816J) at £60 that jumped to £72 on the 2009 price list (G0904J).

rrp for the Guadeloupe back in 2008 was £465.

I ordered and received a sun canopy kit from Forest Camping Centre. It arrived without pegs and guylines,[ Omitted in error by Cabanon ]. The canvas is not of the same quality as that of the tent or the windbreaks. If you hold an area of the tent canvas and an area of the sun canopy against daylight the difference is clearly visable, the canopy fabric is less tightly woven. The cross pole is rounded at one end and squared at the other, and although adjustable it leaves it to the customer to round off the square end to avoid premature wear of the tent canvas.The two upright poles supplied were non adjustable, this limits your options when pitching to put a runoff angle to avoid water holding on the roof section. I contacted Forest Camping and returned the sun canopy for a refund. Yes it is a sun canopy. But as I discussd with Trevor at FCC at the time of ordering I wanted it to extend the covered in area of the tent in all weather conditions. Certainly not value for money at £218.

It's better under canvas!

I just cannot justify spending so much on what is basically a small piece of canvas and a couple of poles. It may be good to cook under, but if the weather is poor we will eat out. £218 is a lot of pub meals.

Sadly, you CAN'T buy a Hypercamp Rosas any more - they seem to have stopped making them
