(Preview)
I have the tarp, just need to know best/easiest way to attach a "rope" to it, so that it can slide into the rail. Any ideas? Instead of putting up an awkward, awning, with a number of poles, we have bought a gazebo that is erected very quickly. To sit alongside of the van, but needs a tarp over part of it, to...

Water tank guage/level

Roof rack, rail platform ideas, fuel, spare wheel, sand tracks
