I have like 3 of these if anyone wants one... say
20$USD + s/h?  I know that is high, but I gotta cover
my original cost, I don't know why I ended up with 3
extra, but somehow I did :(

Ok - this might be a problem, becuase a lot of lots
drain the propane before they can keep the vehicle on
the lot.  Some weeird US regulation - might be the
same in Canada.

Sure - it can be cleaned, just make sure that the
canvas isn't rotting under the mold.

The covers unzip - If you are truly paranoid, you can
pull off the covers, wash them, buy some new foam, and
presto - new pads - I washed mine, but kept the
padding

Best of luck with your shopping
