Hi All,
We are on the look out for a sun canopy (Soplair / Socaplair) front wall with the window and door to suit our 2004 familia 320 GT. I think the canopy we have is is 2.4 meters wide approx. We would be prepared to buy the side walls as well if anyone wanted to sell them as a set of 3. If anyone on here has anything suitable, or has any advice on where we could possibly purchase them from, it would be gratefully appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Ian,
I've owned an Eriba since 2003 and do not recall what you asking for to come on the market. At present Hymer do something that looks similar but obviously to order and it is not cheap. Also you have no idea if it will fit as it's a different make/manufacturer. https://www.hymer-original-zubehör....ings-and-tents/
If you want the full awning finish then I think you're going to have to buy a complete unit. Soplair did one for your Familia and these do come up for sale for as little as £150, although £250 is a more typical price for a private sale. This is an example from a dealer on e-bay , obviously at a dealer price. You can use it as a full awning or zip out the front and sides as needed.
Below are images of a Soplair on our previous Famila. The extended sun canopy was a cheap alteration we made that hooked onto the front and worked well.

PLEASE NOTE - You can also fit a Puck 225/230/L awning to a Familia. It is the same awning. A long shot would be this one on e-abya, a steal at £50 https://www.gumtree.com/p/camping-gear/e...ning/1373914725

Hi eribamotters,
Thanks for the reply. I do have a soplair sun canopy with 2 detachable side walls I brought off hear last year. I didn’t realise they did the front walls myself until I saw a canopy for sale on e-bay today for I think a troll or triton, which when I scrolled through the photos I saw the front wall and a price listing showing all the different prices for awnings and sun canopy’s by soplair from back in 2005-2006. Fingers crossed somebody might have some side walls and a front wall they may no longer require, that I can buy from them on hear.
Thanks Ian

Hers a few of the photos off eBay showing the sun canopy and front and side walls, just for reference, plus what looks like a brochure page and the price list I mentioned in previous post, so people have an idea what I’m on about. I presume the front wall I’m after would be the same just a little narrower to suit my 2.4 meter wide sun canopy. Look forward to hearing off anybody with one they would be prepared to part with.
Thanks Ian

As much as I like the flexibility of what you are searching for a few things need to be considered:-
- the product you are looking for was sold 15yrs ago
- supplied by one smalll UK dealer for an even smaller number of vans
- it was a special order item that might not have actually been ordered by anybody
- it attempted to convert a sun canopy to an awning and I do not know how effectively it did the job
This Werbung: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/awning-for-er...mgAAOSwEMVe8c4S would do all you want and is as the model I referred to above.

Thank you for your considered points of view eribamotters, of which the first 3 are quite true as you say.
Already having a sun canopy with 2 of the sides I can say that by using these it does a good job converting the canopy into a awning, hence the reason why we are searching for a front panel mainly, but would take the side panels too, to full enclose the canopy.
We were lucky enough to have one of the Soplair awnings you mentioned above with our Familia when we brought it which we use when on 1 / 2 week long holidays which works really well but takes quite some time to put up, which is not a problem on longer holidays.
The sun canopy we use for short weekends away which works really well as a sun shade in hot weather and cover / enclosed area with sides fitted for if the weather turns. Taking only a few minutes to put up this is ideal for our short weekend trips away.
If there are any members out there reading this thread for the first time I’m still on the look out for a front wall for our sun canopy and would consider buying the other side walls and the canopy too as a complete package (the canopy as a spare) if they were available.
Look forward to hearing off any members who may have what we are looking for and no longer use it, this would be greatly appreciated.
Look for forward to any of your replies
Regards Ian

Ian,
Have you considered having the awning panel made to measure?
I have no idea of the cost/quality etc. but here is a starting point on line : https://outdoorholiday.co.uk/item/tent-valeting-services-ltd/
There are probably many more to choose from.

Ian afraid can't help but on those pictures you posted from the earlier catalogue it looks a really smart set up. I can understand you wanting to stick with it and possibly enhance it. Dave's suggestion is an interesting one as long as they weren't charging too much

Morning Dave, thank you for the company info in the link, I never realised there were companies out there that did this sort of thing.
I will wait and see if I have any look on finding anything on her first, but I will definitely make an enquiry as a back up plan if nothing materialises on here.
Thanks again for the info
Ian

Ian, you could also try tent manufacturers/repairers - but I have no idea of costs - particularly if you want to include a matching window and door.this one looks very interesting: http://www.grawnings.co.uk/
