Build your own cabana plans

I own a set of Popular Mechanics "do it yourself" encyclopedias circa 1968.
I dug them out today to look for a plan for a jig that I knew was somewhere in them, and I came across plans to build a cabana for a teardrop camper.

I have scanned the 2 pages, they are rather large.

If you want, I can get RV awning fabric. All you have to get is some awning rail, attach it to your trailer. Put 3 gromets in the fabric and get some polls and you've got an awning. Just like the old Scottys. Infact I just got a piece for 2 Scotty guys in the club. If your interested I can bring you a piece to Promiced land. (pick a color, or 2)

Happy Trails

Forget about it, Your in the BrotherHood. An 8' piece works for the Scottys and since yours was a Scotty you should have a piece of awning rail a little over 7'. Blue & white it is. I'll be making reservations at Promiced Land today. I'll email everyone the details.

Happy Trails

Y'know, those old Pop Mechanics Encyclopedias have a wealth of ideas. I bought my set at a used bookstore for a thundering 12 bucks for the whole set. Most places think they take up way too much shelf space.
