All,

 

I have a lockable box that fits into = a pre-1984 Westy.  If anyone wants to see it go here http://web.tam= pabay.rr.com/jflemin1/jflemin1.html  I'll be happy to give it to someone who will put it to good use.  = Too big to ship, it's in Florida.

Jeanne, before reading the last = Digest I received today, with all the responses, I sent you a p-mail.  = Now I'd like to add a suggestion to the whole list.  If the container = hinged in the front and opened towards the rear, it would be easier to = fill, just by standing on a stool inside the camper.  I am still = potentially interested, especially given the $300-400 price quoted in a recent = posting.  Still need to make sure my Zodiac 240 would fit = inside, and that shipping to Vancouver wouldn't be too exhorbitant.

  I've just come from meeting = with a fiberglass fabricator with whom I =

I was wondering if anyone else would be = interested in purchasing one?

  I want the leading edge of = this shell to be rounded so as to minimize =

  Has anybody else thought = about this idea?
