Subject:      Replacement Canvas for Vanagon
Content-Type: text/plain;charset=iso-8859-1

Hey, Volks.

I've just ordered a replacement canvas for my Vanagon.  (Thanks, Bus
Depot!) My current canvas is in excellent condition but has a series of
tears around the front window.  It's very fixable, but I figured that as
long as I was going to remove the old canvas, I might as well put up new
stuff with the extra windows.  So, a couple of things.  My old canvas may
be available to anyone that wishes to reuse it.  And, second, does anyone
have a good set of directions for the replacement operation.

We're going to be leaving our Winter camp in Florida in a couple weeks and
moving back onto the road.  I don't think I can get the new canvas done in
time to roll.  Is this something I can do parked in a campground in North
Carolina?  I have a good set of hand tools, but no power tools.  I also
have lots of time once we leave (just none now).  Since I haven't received
the new canvas, yet, I don't know what the enclosed instructions will be
like.  I'd love a look at the process before I commit to doing it on the
road.  Anybody got a set of instructions online? Thanks for any help.

Live well,

Skip
