You did though imply the original Mazda cover was not made from a good quality fabric, which I disagree with.loneranger wrote:Hello Andrew,I never said that I had used the original cover.All I saw was one at Looe as I stated,which did not look as good as Nicks.I was only trying to help people who were posting in search of a cover.The problem seemed to be that the original Mazda Covers did not come up for sale very often.It does not effect me personally as I have no requirement for a Cover.I sleep in the Bongo winter and summer and as I am a Tough Norterner I do not need to be papered.Cheers Michael
I don't see how anyone can endorse or recommend a product a) without trying it themselves, whether they need to or not or b) saying it's better than another one simply because it 'looks' better! If I was to simply 'look' at the photos on the website, which would be unfair as I haven't seen one in the flesh, I could comment that it looks very heavy in comparison to the extremely lightweight original and it is simply held on by a few bungees being held by the front doors being shut! I can't even see how the rear bungees would stay on! This issue is actually what Nick was struggling with! It is also very expensive! Will it provide warmth in Winter as well as coolness in Summer - who knows? I don't sleep in the roof myself, but my 2 young daughters do all year round. Perhaps they do need a bit of extra pampering(?) though!
If this product is being advertised on the forum as an exact, if not better, replacement for the original, then I fail to see what this is being based on. The only way is for this product to be endorsed the way I see it is for it to be trialled by someone who will have then used both the new and original products and is able to give proper feedback. This is why I offered to do this during the prototype phase as requested by Nick!
