And I thought I such the smarty using that tape method :)
I did it that way because I'm never smarter than tape measures and simple is
as simple does, for this cowboy.
I use a bungy atretched between these two handles up there for hanging all
kinds of things. Sometimes too lazy to snap the front curtain in so I hang a
towel/blanket across there for convenient privacy.

that handle on the drivers side is such a great help getting in.
