Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

Hey all, where is a good place to order that roll of plastic continuous hinge.

...here ya go...as far as I know, it's the only place to get it on a roll...a couple of years ago, it was around 50 bucks for a 50' roll...about 1/3 the cost(or better) at Mc Master Carr...I use(d) it for all my hinging needs...great stuff!!!!!!!!!

p.s. you will havvta call 'em to get a price..........mj
p.p.s. keep in mind the material will pucker between screws...I used a piece of 1x1/6 AL flat stock, ripped in half and placed on top and ran the screws down thru it all...cures that nasty pucker right nicely........mj
p.p.p.s. most sealants don't stick very well to it so, I would recommend using butyl tape..................mj

I am designing a folding porch for my travel trailer!

the floor will slide under the camper and the side walls of the porch will bi-fold and the outer wall with the door will be solid. so it all folds up and slides into place and then the roof folds down over it all.
it will stikck out 3-4 inches.

I believe the 5' piece is $7 plus shipping.
