Hi..applied to join the Facebook go-pod owners, but was rejected as im not actually an owner yet…shame because I’d hoped to learn a bit …before I made a decision about whether it’s right for me! maybe you can help? I used to own both a 4mtr and 5.2 mtr long caravans years ago - but never really had a proper tow car…and hated towing ! How does the go pod tow ? Subjective issue I appreciate !
Ah that’s a shame. With a suitable tow vehicle it is a pleasurable and easy tow. Not being as wide as a standard caravan sideward rear visibility is greater. Although shorter than a usual caravan, if you are familiar with reversing it is still relatively easy. We felt that it wasn’t affected when being overtaken by high sided vehicles. Which you would normally feel a caravan buffeting. Good luck with what ever you decide.
Hi. We sewed it on. Hand sewn too as didn’t have a sewing machine at this point 😁. Sewn twice along both edges of beading leaving a 3 to 5 mm gap at the beading edge so it was possible to feed it trough the rail.
@@2bsatwoldedge770 Thanks for your reply. I have a tiny Kip caravan, and I'm thinking of doing something similar. Thanks for your video, it's great. :)
Looks good, where did you get it from?

Great video! So did you sew on the caravan beading to the tarp or did you buy it with the beading already on?

Where do you buy beading?
It was a few years ago but we found it on eBay
