  What Chris said, Chris.

  I was at the same campout he was at, and am a much less happy
camper, We have a new Acme Brand (no joke!) canvas, and I'm here to
say you that IMO it's a POS, and that 99 out of 100 coyotes would tell
you the same thing.

  The damned thing is so porous that the bus is no longer airtight,
I.E.it's really easy to close the doors now, and you can hear wind
noise coming from the top when you're rolling down the road- at first,
I thought my skylight was cracked open.

  And, to add insult to injury, if the fabric is wet and you touch it,
water wicks in, just like it would do when I was a kid using a WWII
army surplus pup tent.

  On the other hand, if you never actually sleep in your bus, maybe
you don't really care. <EG>
