Canvas Bed Fly's by Holiday Annexes

- Start date
Only seen the Kakadu and Holiday Annexes online but couldn't find a local West Aussie dealer to see either in the flesh.... Saw the Australiwide Anexxes at Caravanland/Jayco over here and was impressed so we went for Australiawide.
From what I remember Holiday Annexes are very similar to the Australiawide ones???

I forgot about the australia wide ones. Do they come with the window or are they extra like the holiday ones?
Ours didn't come with the clear window as standard (Ordered early March) but after looking at their new catalogue on their website last week they now come standard with 3 zipdown panels... mesh screen, clear window and solid canvas. We should have waited a month or two 
Thank you, I'll check them outOurs didn't come with the clear window as standard (Ordered early March) but after looking at their new catalogue on their website last week they now come standard with 3 zipdown panels... mesh screen, clear window and solid canvas. We should have waited a month or two
I had a look at a kakadu bed fly when we were away at Chrissy, everything was the same except it was vinyl which canvas and vinyl is another ford/holden thing. A few other factors that swayed me, kakadu didn't return my email, didn't seem very interested when speaking to them on phone and only wanted to refer me to a distributor so I'd end up paying more!
The day I called valley canvas (holiday annexes) they were making some deliveries and going past near where I work, they delivered them to me.....happy days!

Probably going to have to run with "another Hyundai/Mazda thing" in a year or two.
Will end up like TV's where they all share parts. Then will be rebadged X vs rebadged Y

Exactly the same for me kakadu would not return my emails I sent 3
So I rang holiday annexes and could not get off the phone to them very helpful people
@LUK77Y , I have an annexe made by Holiday annexes last year for rear of my van.
All I can say is awesome product, matches my van scheme wise, watertight and good fit!

we bought a holiday annexes one as well. Fitted it about a month ago now. Love it to bits. Apart from obviously keeping the bed dry, it also makes the bed end nice and dark during the day, it also insulates the bed in from the cold.
I did some research about the Kakadu ones and like others have said, they are vinyl. To me, vinyl does not breathe like canvas does. Also, i emailed kakadu and got not reply where as Holiday Annexes replied within a day.

Kakadu do both vinyl and canvas but he recommends the vinyl.......I'm sooo confused. Don't know which way to go
Agree with all the comments re Holiday Annexes bed end fly's, we went for the clear window covers as well for when its wet and they work really well, the mesh in the windows means the air passes through but nobody can see in during the day. Love them

A happy customer........................
Good morning, I am just writing to complement you and the team at Holiday Annexes for a wonderful product, I usually don’t send a return review, but after fitting the flys, I am so impressed with the quality. Fitting was easy, with clear directions. The product is so well thought out and is exactly what we wanted, everybody who has an Expander needs these.
So thank you again,
Adrian
