tarp channel ??

[Kristi Foster]

You can purchase 5/16" awning welt that will slide into the 3/8" channel or you can purchase 5/16" three ply twisted cord and cover it with the edge of the fabric. Awning rail, as suggested, can be purchased for about $1.00 per foot at your local RV dealership to avoid paying shipping.I have been working on another teardrop awning idea to use up some of my smaller pieces of Sunbrella. I hope to have it ready by the Georgia Rally.

Not trying to be alarmist here, but I think that orange spare is just a little too big to safely use on your trailer.

If it was a spare I would probably agree but it's only a life ring from a ship that my buddy game me recently. I am an avid scuba diver and the trailer is appropriately named the "Topside Inn" as I use it for lodging around the Great Lakes on dive trips. I simply felt it made a nice addition to my nautical theme and never intended to use it in a flat tire situation.

Until NOW!
