Finally Campable and road tested

Postby gassman » Thu Aug 09, 2007 8:43 pm

Tracy and I got her campable just last Friday before the Buckeye Chapter of the Tear Jerkers outing at Hueston Woods near Cincinnatti. A mere 700 mile round trip first treck....not bad it rained all the way home and not a leak!!! Not doing too well with the photos so here goes. Our little "Woodie with the Vinyl top" !!

So now that you've been out and about how is the VINYL top looking? Did you glue it down or "float" it over the skin?

I know it feels great to have it campable, notice I didn't say finished because they never are. I used to live in Cincy and have been to Hueston Wood many times. Congrats!
