The canvas is coated with something to make it more waterproof. Manual (Winnebago) recommends a vacuum or hose down with a light brush. Dry before folding. And don't use detergents or solvents that may remove the waterproofing. But then seeing the other persons comment on the '97 I wonder if they changed the fabrics or something. Anyone seen both? -rick Rick Gordon Bainbridge Island, WA, USA ------------------------------------- rickgo@halcyon.com http://www.halcyon.com/rickgo/ KC7QEG finger for PGP public key fingerprint ------------------------------------- |
