Canvas canopies - safe?
Hi there. Is there any way to make a canvas canopy relatively safe against petty theft? I have three options at the moment: 1. Put aluminium side doors in the current fibre glass canopy. 2. Sell the second car and buy Alu-Cab 3. Canvas canopy (cheap, but is it safe?). My greatest concern is sleeping...

Fibreglass canopy with side doors
Hi Everybody
I don't have the moola for an Alucab kappie. Do you know of anybody who's modified a normal fibreglass canopy to open with doors that lift up on the sides? Will it weaken the structure of the canopy too much?
Cheers!

Hi
Does anyone know anything about General RVT-180 tyres? It seems that you don't get them anymore. I can buy four 265/75 R15C's for a reasonable price but I have no clue if they are worth anything. Strangely, you don't get much when you google it.
