    Check the remlr site, pommiebastard. There are a number of different versions (refered to as "workshop" not "maintenance." ) Theres a link later in this post, but browse the site for more info, then consider checking the member's photos section of AULRO once you know what you're looking for.

    Canvas - well, once you see how it works, and realise that there are trailers to match (I have one), you'll understand that there are no canvasses wandering loose, and if we knew where there were any we'd be buying them, not telling other people where they are. They are worth their weight in gold. You'll need to get a reproduction made if you want one. Plus there is a separate canvas for the cabin - these might crop up from time to time but again repro is probably the way to go.

    Lots of details here:

    We may have technical drawings of the canopy, I know we do of the extension sets. I'll check the REMLR archive. But yes, they are hard to get a hold of.

    I'd love a copy of the drawings if you have them, Phoenix. I figure I'll get a repro made for my trailer at some point. Ditto if you have the drawings for a Series III GS canvas.

    Which reminds me - the REMLR CD/DVD has the drawings for the Workshop back - all the technical drawings required to build one from scratch.

    It's amongst those drawings that i'm looking scrambler, so if you have a second, have a look yourself. I must see if I can get my hands on some more of those ADE drawings as well. I've got a pile of numbers, just need a source, anybody ???

    I couldn't see the canvas when I looked before, Phoenix. It was all the Pressed Metal Corp stuff, not the canvas, which I assume would be a different contract.

    There's a lot of stuff on the DVD, though, and I haven't gone through it all item-by-item. But some time I'll find the time and try to do a more comprehensive index.
