    Actually those pic's were taken Aug 2009 in the Unitah's and it rained and snowed on it. I had about 6 people trying to stay dry under it and felt the only thing I need to do is seam seal it, the main fabric never leaked.

    A little off topic, but what is that cool stand you have your stove sitting on inthe back ground

    Can you post a link? All I'm getting is a dimensions sketch and a single photo.

    Alright, this is just fancy car camping, people. Move along, move along.

    I'll have to look up the manufacture but it is one of those small folding work tables from Home Depot or Lowes.

    I just got my Auto Canopy today. Nothing fancy, just a nice quality awning. Sewing is nice, and the canvas is nicer than I expected for $90.
    I've installed a couple footman loops at the rear of the camper to thread a nice strap to (the straps that come with are a little light for my comfort) and it attaches easily. It comes with two long (8'?) webbing straps as hold down straps, and has a couple extra webbing buckles mounted at the corners.
    Well worth the money, glad I bought it.. I'll TRY to get some pics up before the trip, but no promises. You might have to wait for pics of it being used..
