Thanks, UP! I think the loose weave fabric will prove to let the heat drift into these enclosed areas. It has to be somewhat of an improvement from leaving them totally closed.
Yeah, the roof is a mess and very observant of you to see the diamond embossing of the aluminum. I'm using your suggestion of Scotchbrite scrubbing pads and that helps get the last bits of stuff out of the diamonds. The good news is that I have only two vents (one is prevuiously cleaned), two pipes (one goes through new plate), and three seams left to clean. The edges and aluminum trim were cleaned when I replaced the wall framing. I won't be trying to get the whole roof skin bright, either. When all has Eternabond on the seams, I'll apply a white elastomeric paint and that should make it look considerably better and offer some cooling in the summer.
You're probably shaking your head about the single table pedestal, thinking, "why didn't the Dummmy use two pedestals like I told him ...?". What you didn't know is that I want the table to rotate. I am cogitating about a locking mechanism to secure the table in a couple of positions, ATM. Rotating the table allows me to have a desk when I'm slouched in the corner with screen on the wall opposite, and allows for easier entry for someone to sit on the forward bench. The addition of the forward bench came about from looking at the layout of the Sunline and how you have that long bench to stetch out on. I wanna' stretch, too!
