Annexe costs

[chartrock]

:help: Can any of our well informed and knowledgable people advise me on annexe costs? I was at the Gold Coast caravan show yesterday and have decided to get an annexe for our van. We also want the 'porch' extending out the front of the annexe. We have decided we want canvas rather than vinyl and got a quote from "Australiwide Annexes" who will come to me, measure and come back and fit an annexe for $2650 and as a show special they will throw in the porch for free (usually $350).

Now I know a number of members have bought a Prestige from Melbourne who quote on their website $1750 up to 15' but they do not ship, it is pick up only and a trip to Melbourne is not on the cards at the moment. :nono:

Others have purchased from Coffs Harbour (Coolabah Campers) but they are not answering their phone on Saturday morning so I can't get a quote. Can anyone provide an approximate cost for their annexe from them, preferably in canvas and using the aluminium anti flap system?

Thanks :hail:

For $2650 fitted and a free porch sounds like a decent deal...

Even at $1750 you have to hope you get the measurements right and are able to fit it well for it to all join etc correctly.

IMO for another 1k for fitting and porch I would be going with that.

Nothing worse than a misaligned annex from bad measurements / fitting !!!

We got ours from Just Canvas. There are located at Caboolture. Our cost was $2000. Very happy with it.

Hey Paul
Have you tried Kakadu Annexes down at Currumbin. I think they make canvas ones too. http://www.allseasonsvinyl.com.au/

Yeah I looked at Kakadu at the Penrith show last year, set up on a 16ft expanda. It was Vinyl and had angled walls for a bit of extra space, $2600 comes to mind but can't remember if that included tha add a room and porch. As mentioned they also do canvas and fit on site.

Thanks guys. Yes, Kakadu were at the show and I checked with them. According to their rep, they make in vinyl for a number of reasons and their web site lists these reasons. Their price was around the $2600 as well without the porch.

We decided to go with the Australiawide setup so I'll keep you posted.

I was quoted around $2000 for an annexe for my 14.4.2. Outback Expanda. A mob from Penrith. Cant remember their name.

Found this info on the following website http://www.carapairs.com.au/parts_&_accessories.html
on the Aussie traveller annexe wall kits on a special for $1699. When you get onto the website click on the specials dot - looks OK to me - but I'm not in the market for one of these yet - I was doing some research on other items and stumbled across this.

Thanks, bbm, but Melbourne is a bit far. No matter where you live the specials always seem to be somewhere else. :mmph:

We bit the bullet and they came out yesterday to measure up. Apparently it will be about 3 weeks then they will again come out and fit it.

Good luck with it chartrock - hopefully someone else may take use of the special!

Thanks NK, that's about what I was quoted from Kakadu. About $2650 for the annexe and $350 for the porch.

We went with the Captain Cook model from Australiawide, also with the free porch from the Gold Coast show a couple of years ago.
Got the bronze vinyl windows. Peter was great with coming to measure and fit. Included curved rafter, good awning end rafters, poles and pegs and ropes. Good product and very happy, even if a bit heavier than a standard annexe.
