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.

Wishing you many miles of smiles!
