Hello, Just got back from the Van Nationals in Hillsboro, OH. The van ran great! There was some talk about canopies a few weeks back. I purchased a 12' x 20' and I extended the legs a bit more to drive under it from the side. Here is a link which shows the canopy with van parked under it. This gave me a 12' x 12' outside living area. It was like pulling into a garage. The van inside stayed cool too during the day. It worked great through heavy rain storm and hot sun the rest of the week. I would recommend it if you don't mind carrying the piping but it breaks down fairly small. One person can set it up but forget about moving it by your self once its up. Pic also shows new paint job...I eliminated the silver fiberglass bumpers at the last minute. Very happy with the solid color throughout. What do you think? But boy is it begging me for tinted windows: http://www.roesner.net/ftp/vanshow.jpg Hope everyone is doing fine on the list. Will take me a day or so to get caught up...
