Need to hear that story. How did you find those hospitals, and why do they have camper hookups?

For your pop up canopy try this:
Medium duty clear or translucent shower curtains - 5 bucks or less at your local big box - clip to the edges of the canopy using those black spring clamps from Staples With a good quality tarp over the top for rain proofing. The clamps can also join the edges together. It takes a total of 8 shower curtains to cover the edges of the canopy. We have a Quest with the screening, which holds the curtains away from the vertical and allows the water to drain away. Enjoy. Walt

To help answer Thinkers question on how and why truckers fill up the rest areas at night, we are required by DOT to take 10 hours off after driving for 11 hours or after being on duty for 14 hours. There are drivers that use the rest areas because they are free with easy on/off access to the interstate, the same reasons the RV's like them. There is not enough parking for trucks in many states and to help with this you will see more 'truck only' rest areas to help with this problem. Missouri and Nebraska have several along the interstates.
Trucks and RV's use different systems for heating and cooling for better or worse. The truck has always used it's engine as the source of heat and to run the air, that is why the engine must run unless the truck is equipped with an APU (auxiliary power unit). Everyone wants a good restful sleep, to be refreshed in the morning and ready to go. To get this we all use heat or cooling whether you are a trucker or an RVer. Goose |

Thanks, Podsible Dream. I already have a 20 X 12 tarp purchased at Big Lots that I have cut in half to use as wind / sun / rain shield. Works perfectly-stretches across the 12 foot side of the EZ up and leaves a little opening for ventilation. Best purchase ever! You can buy "zip on" ones from the EZ up company, but they want 33 dollars for each side. I made two sides out of 1 tarp for $15.

Another option is to buy thick mil drop cloth plastic for the sides of the EZ-up, usually it is translucent and comes in long lengths. I use a tarp over the top, long enough to extend down and cover one side.
