Mark, I have the same trouble.  Every few weeks I haul the thing out and
try to figure out how it could possibly fit, and I just can't do it.  My
wife and I thought of maybe shortening it a few inches by folding somewhere
in the middle and tack-sewing, but we're reluctant to do that.

Ron, can you resolve this for us?  It's  a nicely made screen and I'd
really like it to work, but it simply seems impossible.  I have an '84 P27
(full camper) Westy.
