Cool to see how the canvas is attached to the roof.  That explains a few things.  How do they attach the canvas to the main body?

Just put the lower trim on with every 5th or 6th screw first. Then remove one screw and tug at the liner until you have it just right then install a couple of screws and move over a foot and repeat. Depending on the weather will depend on how tight you make the sideliner. When it is cold you go for quite tight. When it is over 80 you make it a little loose. You must hook up the front and rear bungies before you attach the bottom of the sideliner. I am sorry I forgot to take pictures of that part.

Hey three pin,

A big thanks for this thread! We are waiting anxiously for our FWC, and it's really nice to see a very similar unit under construction! It looks like you're getting a top quality camper!

Tight turns,

Captain Telemark
