Pop up roof sides
I have a Gypsey Caravan with a pop up roof.
Last weekend went camping and the vervet monkeys torn the netting on the sides to gain entry to my caravan.
Does anyone have some advice how to prevent it happening again.
Baboons and Monkeys destroy our caravans, surely someone have a solution for me.
I had a Jurgens Classique and never cross my mind of this dangers to happen.
Live your life.

For that very same reason, we pull the pop up down if we leave the van un attended for any time. Yes it is a sclep.but in the long run the monkeys can not cause any damages
Ek rits die seile bo toe sodat hulle nie kan in sien nie.
Moeg geploeg.
Va die plekke se ape raak arrogant. By Maroela in KNP het hulle my broer hulle se surround geskeur en ingeklim terwyl hulle onder rally gesit het. Ons maak maar ook soos Chris Centurion hierbo....zip die surround toe
WAARSKUWING:
Kampeer is aansteeklik en verslawend ðŸËÂ

In Cape Vidal the monkeys have figured out where the velcro joint of the surround is and they go in there.
Dropping the pop top is the safest and is very quick.
With the exclusive we made steel mesh inserts for the roof vents. Then we can leave them open when we go out.
Groete,
Paul
Met ons ook gebeur in die KNP. Daarna geleer dat ons eerder die dak laat sak as ons uitgaan wanneer daar apies in die omgewing is. 'n Schlepp soos voorheen genoem, maar beter as die skade - R5000 in ons geval!

Tell us a little more about the steel mesh please Paul.

Die sien is nie die enigste waarvoor jy moet versigtig wees nie.
Jy moet ook nie vrugte in die wa of in die tent oop los nie. Hulle reuk sintuig is baie goed en dis wat hulle ook lok. Veral as die vrugte naby aan oor-ryp is, dan is die vrug reuk die sterkste.
Johan the only way to fix that netting is to remove the Popup surround and have it done at someone with the proper machine.
GOD IS ALTYD TEENWOORDIG
Sonder Jesus is ek niks! ! ! !

At Mountain Zebra, I was walking a trail, birding.
My wife sat on the bed with earphones in watching something.
She looked up to see a big male monkey sitting on the table in the van.
She shouted/screamed at him. He casually looked around, ignored the bowl of bananas behind him and grabbed my almost full bag of seed and nuts muesli.
She chased him with the catty, on the way he ripped the packet, spilling the contents on the tar road.
The next morning 3 monkeys were lapping up the contents....

Inhassoro also nice. A place few people know of is Dugong. They fairly from Vilanculos, ask at the hotel. Must be seen
Awesome photo Paul enjoy your stay. Cold here in Pta
Hi Richard. I bought a Cadac braai grid from Chamberlain for R200. Cut it up to fit into the two roof vents.
It won’t rust.

Nice Paul. Can you still open the vents?
Welcome back .... safely I assume!
Living the dream

Yes. The mesh is completely removable. When we travel i take them out and put them on the bed.

Paul
And the grid is S/steel.
Groete,
Paul
