Tarpaulin

Post by gerardsrik »

He guy's

I'am looking for a tarpaulin for our GMC. I was thinking of buying one by "john and mary" from the UK. (http://www.uscanvas.com:80/)

Does any one have any experiance with this company? About quality and fitting?

Thanks Rik

Worthings have a good reputation but I have not had items from them, however I can vouch for the quality of Allied Forces products.

As Degsy says, Jim at Allied Forces makes quality kit but busy that he is, he's not the quickest. John and Mary make equally good gear and I've been very pleased with my jeep canvas from them.

Everyone in the MV community here recomends them, so I guess they are "cleared".. I will actually order canvas for my GMC from them myself now.

Agreed - Allied Forces are the way to go. My GMC canvas came from and watched it being made so can vouch for their quality and great guys to. My chum has just ordered his from them too.
