Hey, new guy. Can't help you with the shelter half as I graduated to a 24' camper a few years back. These bones and the ground don't play well together. You will, before tomorrow, get plenty of play on your question. You've found a good place to ask for an answer.

Default welcome
welcome to the forum k6j3p. Odd surname...Irish...Bohemian...........Polish? Whenever I want to make something look more rustic, I hand-stitch leather over it. This has been the way things have been patched since the beginnings of civilization. The sloppier you do it, the more authentic it looks.
