Roof/Hatch

Postby spchytr » Mon Aug 11, 2008 4:54 am

I was wondering, I saw an ebay auction for plans to a toyhauler/teardrop, and it appeared to have a roof made out of one of these. Has anyone here had experience using something similar to this?

A few have opted for vinyl roof covering, but not just a single layer of vinyl for th actual roof... That I'm aware of anyway.
One thing...
Stay away from auctions for build plans on ebay, they are a ripoff...

I went with a vinyl top in imitation of the original woody cars. It was actually a tonneau top material from a local auto upholstry shop. I would be glad to tell you how I did it and what is underneath the Vinly.
I am a big ebay fan buying & selling, but I would not purchase plans of that sort. As Dean said look around on this site you can find plans for free that will show you the steps for a fine build. Just a thought.

What he said. If you just got to pay for some, get Steve Frederick's shop plans. They are much better than anything you will find on eBay.

I was wondering why the water balloon was getting bigger... and then it hit me.
