This is a great idea, both of you.

Interior! / Re: What rattles and how to fix it
« on: June 08, 2016, 01:34:35 pm »
That's funny -- I just did that yesterday too, as an experiment (pushing up on the board I could reach).
What I notice most is creaking sounds coming from the roof area, when the van body is getting torqued in a corner or during one-wheel-at-a-time
"driveway curb" exits. Is that the pop-top roof itself (Weekender in this case), or the bunk board, or both? If the former, any suggestions how to quiet that down?

Interior! / Removing side screens
« on: June 08, 2016, 01:31:10 pm »
I'm getting the windows tinted on our Weekender tomorrow, and will be removing the curtains and side screens later this evening just to get them out of the way. Is there any special trick to removing the side screens? (sliding door and opposite side window)... or do you just pry them out?

Some great ideas here! The two broken panels on our recently-purchased Weekender has me currently working on some low-volume-production replacement ideas (I do product development work as part of my day job), but I've had thoughts of replacing the entire panel as well.
If you could wave a magic wand and have someone make something that you could buy off the shelf, which would you prefer, for that "replace the whole panel" route:
1) The entire face, solid, but hinged at the top to open up as big a door as possible?
2) The entire face, solid, but not hinged (i.e. like the Reimo one that Itsamoto found)
3) Drawers that slide along with the frame when it's converted to a bed? (Big-as-possible drawers?...or smaller like the access panels on the later EV's?)
4) Something else?
Related: anyone have one of those older no-access-openings OEM cover panels that they would be interested in selling me (or donating to the cause
)?

I'm actually working on some prototype replacements for these right now. Feel free to PM me if you're interested in participating.
