Here's a few. If I find more I'll post them, or create a new thread.

Any Canadian suggestions??

It was actually a old-time/bluegrass festival (4 days).

Hey it's not like I was in my 20's in the 60's... Then the term 'Hippie' would be more accurate. ;) :P

Aw man, that sucks they are sold out (I can't find anywhere that has it in stock!)! I may be missing a few parts from when I rolled my last bay... Guess I could jury rig something if worst come to worse... :)

rain - if you call the company they should have "parts" for ya. They are super nice just have the model number ready.

peace

That's just a wall that's an accessory to the $139.00 canopy:

dangit -- that makes more sense. They seem to have this modular approach to their canopies. I just got back from wal-mart, and did not see anything in the $30 range.

Mon May 16, 2011 10:33 pm

Just ordered the one from Amazon, I'll set it up when it gets here and post some pics. Not bad, $36.

I just nnow snagged up the last one in silver, off Amazon. Supposedly a little bit better UV protection.

I wish I had a "primo-bus" with great paint job etc., but I don't! I also don't live in the bus, so,,,,,,,IMHO, if I need a water-tight seal when using this thing for a few days, I'm just gonna rig something up with duct-tape, then spend 15 minutes getting any residual glue off,,,,if any!

My ole lady just commented about getting one of these, and this Wal-Mart cheepie sounds like it'll do the trick!

Thanks for the tip, and when I get it rigged, I'll let you know how it shakes-out!

5 of them made it to Lachute P.Q!!! 8)

Thanks Mr Klaussinator !

Hey, Blackdawg,

Very cool! Did you collect a nickel from each person using my idea?!? :lol:

Love the old Honda 70 trail bike in that picture. That was my first motorcycle ever, bought a 1970 CT-70 when I was about 12 years old . . . actually handed it down thru several generations of our family. Man, that makes me feel old.
