That Hannibal roof basket is sweet
but that price isn't, $1700
I especially like the accessories, I just may put my Surco basket back on my Libby and fabricate some of those accessories. I like the idea of an awning. Now where can I get a custom piece of canvas?
Here's an idea I've been throwing around to make an awning.
Take some PVC pipe (3/4") and fab it up to match the shape of the roof basket.
- On the front corners, add in a threaded tee so that you can have legs to support it when opened.
Mount it to the top of the basket on one side with maybe pipe straps to act as hinges.
Cut a tarp to fit the frame
When opened, use PVC or EMT supports to hold it up (that's what the tee's are for) and ropes to the corners to hold it to the ground.
- You can make the supports in 2 sections and use couplings to make them longer again.
Use rope or small bungee cords to hold the tarp to the frame.
Should give you a small cover area, especially if you use your KJ to camp in.
Like I said, just an idea I've been tossing around, haven't tried it yet though.

They'd also have to ship frieght (too big for standard oversized shipping.) and would run about $300 shipping probably, to many places.
