VE S2 SSV Redline wagon
I'm going to be camping in the back of my ve ssv wagon while doing a few cross country trips just wondering if any of you guys know of a zipup mosquito net/weather proof cover that's made to go across the back hatch on a commodore??

You could make yourself,

Head over to Bunnings and buy some flywire, [larger than the area in question]
And some Velcro [with gum in the back of it]

Get a size to suit the open area that will over lap in the middle,
use some Velcro the hold it in place on the sides [on the back mouldings],
make sure you cut it down the centre and its able to over lap its self,
And use Velcro to keep the centre closed.

Since only Temp, all you are left is with the Velcro on the Rear mouldings,
If you don't like that, peal it off.

There used to be a Motor Trimmer out Bexley,Sydney,way that did custom work like that,probably worth a few calls to MT's in your area if your not confident rigging up something yourself.
I haven't seen any after market kits for netting since the Torana Sunbird(?) days in the 1980's.

I forgot to mention,
to get the velcro to remain in place on the flywire,
you may need to use a stapler, to fix it in place, where the staple will not interfere with it attaching to the velcro.

I know you can buy hutches like the hatch hutch for VE/F utes. My Son has one. Not sure about Sportwagon though?

Yes, although I don't remember his name.
Same here.
I was shocked, horrified and concerned about the sexual motive possibilities of a scantily clad female asking him if he was ready for bed during daylight hours.
Thank our Lucky Starr's, TV morals enforcers would not allow that to be shown today.
