When you're top was up with just the hinges posts what keeps it from falling north/south.

I made bump stops in the hinges on camper shell that keep it from moving

Beautiful sewing! Man, that's not easy to do (at least for me!).

Question - is the pop-up wall two layers thick? Looks like it's green on the outside and white on the inside? If so, I really like that. I went white on my latest edition of my popup to keep the inside bright, but at night it glows like a giant lantern and attracts every bug for miles. I imagine your approach would keep it brighter inside with the windows open or lights on, but not be a pest beacon at night.

So the material is the same stuff they use for military temper tents. You can get green /green , green/black,or green/white backing. The material is so dense my huge led shop light would not light the canvas up on the outside like most do. I believe it is in the design so the tents don’t light up in tactical situations.

Thanks by the way!

Thanks, that's very cool, never heard of that stuff before. What's it called and where did you buy it?
