Martha and others wrote of car-top tents: Michael Heron sent me a copy of an early-60's brochure for a very similar item by "Dove Manufacturing" -- will scan some of the pix in and put 'em on my tent page before too long. The pix are real cool -- shows the tent set up on both Beetle and van. I plan a re-do of my pages when the new Pentium arrives (!!) I love my old Tandy 3000NL '286 but oh, you Pentium! Regardez window screens: I made some for my ex-'68-Westy from various pieces of screen framing, fleshed out with sheet metal flanges to fill in the odd gaps. I made 'em so you could just roll 'em up in the front door windows to pinch 'em in place. A very handy set of gadgets. They stored quite handily in the sunroof pocket between the "ceiling" and roof in the rear.
