Put this in the Handy Hints category. A a page or so back, I mentioned sliding a small diameter piece of tubing inside an old seal on the front of my popup truck camper to get a better seal. The seal was better but the center still didn't pull as tight as I was hoping for.
I bought my Palomino used and it had some damage in the front that I thought would be easy to fix. It wasn't. After fixing the rotted wood and reenforcing things the front still didn't seal well. After fighting it for 3 summers now, here is my latest attempt. I added 2 new clamps to the front.
They are available online for around $12 plus shipping and match the old ones accept they went to a different style upper clip. I can reach the camps by standing in the open door or using the plastic step we usually carry with us. Has not been road tested in the rain yet but it looks like a good seal now.
