Brilliant video! It was hilarious as well as gut wrenching.. we all know
what happens when thing just don't go your way and we were feeling for you
here in the shop throughout. The commentary is awesome too "pre stripped
screws"

 I hope more and more folks make videos to share their experiences with
others... I'm working on the SDM07 stuff right now, it's up to about 11
minutes, and my personal project disaster is that I'm missing an entire tape
filled with good stuff from the event, it's either gone or was taped over.

Subject: Video on how NOT to install a new Westfalia tent

I replaced my tent on my 83.5 Westfalia last week. I decided to film it in
order to help others who might try the same procedure.  Something I should
have done when I removed the camping gear to replace the rust. Anyway, it
turned out to be a video on how NOT to install a new tent.  I thought I'd
share it anyway. It's almost 10 min long so give yourself some time if you
are going to view it.
