If anyone has an awning roof for a mk3 Tvan I would be interested in buying. Can be damaged or otherwise not in great condition.

Annex for Mk2 for sale (Roof & Kitchen-End Wall only) was from our 2005 Canning Mk2 - excellent condition, had very little use.
Price negotiable.

I believe there are 3 versions of the annex MK1 then MK2-3 & MK4-5
Saw a post on the forum recently that explained the difference
If you don't have the front box ours will suit your MK3

"Your going to need to explain a few more details about your Annex requirements.
Otherwise you may end up with walls that you cannot use.

Does you Tvan have a front box? 
The End Walls will be interchangeable (the Same wall fits either end on a Mk.3 with a front box.)
The Roof Section is actually longer on a Tvan Annex that includes a front box .
The Annex return wall is a separate section when you have a front box, and has an opening zipped into it to access the front box where a Fridge would normally be stored beside the pull out Kitchen on a Mk3.
The Long Front wall can be different lengths also, depending whether it is for the Mk3. with a front box.

Mk2. Annex's are usually shorter end to end, than Mk3., because of the lack of a front box.
Mk2. Annex's also have an odd shaped wall, at the kitchen end, that wraps around the corner pole and zips onto a section of flap from the edge of the roof.
Mk2. Annex's can also have "stay put" eyelets along the drop down flap Section.  These eyelets engage with small fittings along the side of the roof on the kitchen side of the Tvan.
Or later models have just a strap at the front, where it ties to the handle on the front of the body using cinch rings to tighten and hold.  With another in the middle that drops down into the gap between the rear hatch and the body of the Tvan., where it ties back onto itself with cinch rings after passing through a ring on the body.

I don't believe there is a problem with the Draught Skirt because those dimensions are identical with the Mk 2 & 3.

Despite all that they both have the same amount of poles and ropes.  And you will find 2 Spreader poles are needed.  1st at the highest peak of the Annex and anchors from the body of the Hatch to the tallest pole.
The 2nd from the body of the hatch, that supports the edge of the annex roof over the kitchen, to the corner of the Annex closest to the Jockey wheel.
Both will have a 'Bird Beak fitting in one end and a flat loop for a pole spike in the other.

If you really want the rain to run off instead of pool in the roof panel, I suggest getting another spreader pole.
This third optional pole will have the loop for a pole spike in one end and a 'C' clip to fit to the spreader along the tvan. and sit onto the pole nearest the end of the sink.  With the two spreaders at 90Deg. to the Tvan. you have a better chance of keeping tension in the roof section of the Annex.

I am calling it an ANNEX, because it has to be disassembled to be stored away.
It is NOT an Awning which rolls up and is 'stored in situ' ready for use at a later time.
Hope the info helps yourselves, as well as others."

Thanks for your reply. How much are you thinking? I only need part of the roof that attaches to the tent section so don't want to spend too much.
