   To add...vintage sewing machines are routinely available at garage- and estate sales, on-line, etc. People routinely all but give them away because "it doesn't work". In fact, they're like old vehicles that have been sitting. Clean them up, get rid of the old grease, add new grease and oil, etc. etc. There's a version of a Chilton manual for vintage mechanical machines that spells out everything. Well it's not called a Chilton, but you get the idea! Anyone who can manage a TV and a trailer, can maintain and care for a mechanical sewing machine (only trained technicians should work on the computerized ones). I hope this helps! Sewing machines are the original home appliance and really fit into an outdoors lifestyle.

	live 2camp—funny that you should mention MG fenders. Laura and I renovated a 1956 MG-A. Now, it had fenders! I agree withyour earlier post about the sewing machine capability- take your time, go slow, use good thread and multiple lines of stitching. Laura has made many utilitarian items duringour 45 years of outdoor life together. Clothing kits, sleeping bags, Vests, bags, curtains, pack repairs, etc. a sewing machine and a decent operator can do wonderful things. Vann

	Nice work. I like our factory installed awning but would love the length and width of yours. Not to mention the cost difference.
