Hopefully this has not been already discussed. I have been on vacation for spring break and just getting back into the swing of things. A quick Rain Fly History: It was originally designed and manufactured by Mary Wisnewski many years ago from Grand Rapids, MI. Some of you may know her from Buses By the Beach events. She does a lot of the Graphic Work for the Organization. She is very talented. She was making them and selling them. Frank C. met her at Buses By the Beach and discussed selling them on his site. After the demand got to be greater then she wanted to handle she sold the pattern and materials to Jonce Fancher. Jonce is also a very talented person that makes lots of great accessories for your van. He sells the rain flies today on his website at www.fanchers.com I have one and really like it. I like it for the privacy more so than rain protection. In the summer I can leave my screen open for air flow and if I happen to be crawling up into the upper bunk in my skivvies I don't have to worry about subjecting an innocent passerby with that horrible mental image. 8-) Wishing you many miles of smiles!
