New to Carver

Postby ScooBus » August 15th, 2025, 7:06 am

Hi I am Tracie and my partner is Andy we bought our Carver 390 European two months ago with the idea to live and work on board whilst travelling around the UK.

We are first time boat owners and love our boat ScooBus (aka Scooby)

We are trying to sorce parts for her but it is hard so any help on that front would be good. We have just started going through the manual to find everything :) We are currently on hardstand on the river Medway.

We just wanted to say Hi xxx :captain:

Welcome. There will be no off the shelf or pre-made canvas pieces available to just purchase. Unless your lucky to find something used that a owner has for sale. A canvas person is generally needed but many items can be a diy project too. Most all items on your boat were not made by carver so if you need help finding something just ask. We can help you look too.
