    Yup, that'd do. A skirt would also solve any leakage problems around the hinge area too.

    better fabric-design for flippac????

    I talked via email with Mario about a skirt for the flippac tent. Obviously, it would need a foldover seam where it attaches to th tent itself, but my idea was for shock cord all along tthe bottom of theskirt. This wwould obviously hold the skirt down around the open lid, but would need...

    Area woman finally uploads all 12 miliion pictures of her vacation on Facebook

    "Oddly, sources noted that there seemed to be only one picture of the Eiffel Tower." This is the part that busted me up. Sounds like Mr. Bean, 12 million, and they only got it once. I love the onion.

    Large Fridge drawer slider (Seattle)

    Hi Mike. I'm Donny, the veteran with terminal cancer who contacted you before. Sorry, my hands were shaking badly back then because of the powerful chemo cocktail they had me on. Then, I lost your email, and forgot about this fridge. I'd still like to trade you a couple handguns for this, if...

    Is this a trick question, like ordering a whole wheat on rye, hold the bread?

    Just posting some pics of my FG

    Yeah, if your sides taper in that much as you go up, you'd be better off making your bed low. Every inch of bed width is precious. As you know we'll have a double up top with the FlipPac, but I also want a bed down below for 3 reasons: 1. Back-up for bad weather and we don't wanna open the...

    Doug, that was me that was emailing you about this. We're trying to build our Volvo Tgb111C on a tight budget, remember? I'm Donny, the guy who you helped import our truck from Sweden through New Jersey, the vet with brain cancer? I've been emailing you all along asking about this unit, but I...

    Just posting some pics of my FG

    I'm doing the same thing in the spring to our Volvo. Here's a mock-up my son did on MS Paint. We have everything we need except the torsion bar and crank handle, but I'm just not gonna use them. Just gonna use a long pole like others here have done. BTW, FG Safari, I was able to find...

    Tent Insulation?

    Go to Walmart and buy a big, cheap tent. Bring your smaller, better tent, too. Set up the big tent. Cover the floor with pine needles and a tarp. Set up your small tent and slide it in. A cheap Yankee told ya that.

    Let's see your roof-rack organization pics

    One thing I've never understood about roof racks, and I see this all the time. Stuff on the roof but the truck ain't full yet. I know ya gotta be able to see out the back, but I see people all the time with a loaded roof rack and nothing in the truck.

    Allagash Ice Cave

    Thanks for the map, Gm. That's up there. When I ask Google Maps for directions it's only 5 hours and change, but I gotta go through Canada! For all you history buffs like me, this is only about 60 miles as the crow flies from the,, "height of land", area from Benedict Arnold and Daniel...
