HI, Joann: was blessed to be able to camp near you back in MLAG 2006 (my 1st): I enjoyed the video even though I have done much of what you show: always good to see how other do this! I have actually changed the springs for lighter weight ones, and have glued one end of the springs in place so they don't run away on me.

Take care, Paul of Tallahassee
