1. Don't get in the habit of tapping your dirty boots/shoes or w.h.y. against the sliding door bottom rail. It kept bugging me that the lower bearing on slider door was getting dirt/sand in it and grinding. It suddenly flashed in my mind that I have (had!) a habit of knocking dirt off my boots against this area before entering my van while camping and this dirt was getting in this rail. Especially after taking "welcome" mat inside just before leaving campsite. Regardless it pays to keep that area clean with a quick sweep of broom. 2. If you don't have a shaving mirror and are desperate.......... The door, that allows access to storage beside bed, can be removed and placed (carefully) between poptop frame and canvas. The mirror that's attached to it can be used above sink area for shaving or whatever. Ok, now I can forget! Neil.
