[FONT="Comic Sans MS"][COLOR="DarkGreen"]Hershey isn't nekkid any more. I think she looks beautiful and just had to show her off ... [/COLOR][/FONT]


[FONT="Comic Sans MS"][COLOR="darkgreen"]My boy and I traveled to Bear Creek Canvas yesterday and had them install the new canvas.  They did an awesome job.  They were so easy to work with and watching them install the canvas was a great experience for both the boy and me.  The craftmanship on the new canvas is absolutely beautiful.  You can see more photos here

If you are thinking about replacing your canvas ~ I can't praise these guys enough.[/COLOR][/FONT]

That's awsome kelly.

Looks like a great job that should last for many happy camp-outs....:sombraro:

We went to a private campground last year, and the campers down the road from us store their camper on their lot year round.  When they arrived at camp,they popped open their camper and it looked just like that..:yikes:  Someone had stolen all the canvas off of it, And took the time to fold it back down.. Talk about a ruined camping trip!:mad: BTW the new canvas looks GREAT!

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"][COLOR="DarkGreen"]oh ~ don't do that, Becky!  You'd be so proud to know what the guys at Bear Creek said about Hershey.  They were impressed with how good she looked and how well she had been taken care of ... and how far she'd traveled to get new clothes  (they were surprised she'd come all the way from PA to MN)[/COLOR][/FONT]

Looks fantastic!  Love those huge windows.  You will get many years of enjoyment out of Hershey!  :-()

Kelly,

Hershey looks better than I have ever seen her.  What is the new tenting made of.  I think she had Evolution 3 on her originally.  I like the new color.

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"][COLOR="darkgreen"]Tracy ~

I think it was the Evolution 3 ... the guys at Bear Creek told me that it is a paper product made by Kimberly Clark and breaks down after years of exposure.  Sounds about right.  That part of the tenting was so bad, that I ran out of places to stitch patches to ~ the stuff would just disintegrate when you touched it.

The new stuff is great.  We had some really good rain the last time out and it was all good.  I wasn't up half the night worrying that the canvas was going to come down on our heads from the weight of the water.  We had that happen during a big storm in ND last year ~ my mom on one bunkend pushing water off and me on the other.  Not fun.

Here is the description of the new materials from Bear Creek's website ... [/COLOR][/FONT]

The tops made at Bear Creek Canvas are manufactured out of 10.38-once canvas which meets or exceeds industry standards. Whenever possible we use materials made in the U.S.A. Our windows are made of tinted 12-mil. vinyl to help keep out excess sunlight and heat. The screen on the windows is a tight 18x16-mesh assisting you in keeping out unwanted insects. A durable 13-once vinyl material over the bed wing that assists you in making sure your camping trip is dry and enjoyable.

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"][COLOR="DarkGreen"]Another plus ~ with the windows shut, it is like a cave inside.  The night that I ran the fan and had all the windows closed, my kids slept in!  They were much happier campers that day!  [/COLOR][/FONT]
