Hi Guy's,
I bought my material in a fabric shop about 6 years ago.
It's like a velour material and has lasted all this time and still going strong considering the use. Well, worth the money at £3.99 a metre
I did re-use the foam cushions that came with the Portafold, as i said further up this page, to buy new foam was a shock for good quality foam

and something i could live without as i wanted to buy ther things for the Portafold.

Great price fabric!! These things can become money pits can't they?!

I've run out now, so she'll just have to be finished with what I can get hold of!!

Hi,
Your not wrong there !!
what with the Portafold needing a bit of a tidy up and Tear drop caravan sorting that would be enough expense for anyone.
Alas, it does not end there when you own a 55 Chevy, a Anglia 105e and a Wolseley Hornet which are all a drain on the money front.
We are glutton's for punishment but, we love it !!
