H Jeff,

Indeed... At BusFusion myself and a crew of 3 or 4 people did Joy
Hecht's canvas in a couple hours without breaking a sweat. It took
maybe 4 man-hours of effort, including the removal and replacement of
the roof.

My Dad replaced the canvas on his westy in about 4 hours working
singlehandedly, leaving the pop-top in place.

Hint: Use a quarter-inch ratchet driver and a phillips-head bit to
get into the tight spaces for the screws in the back corners.

Happy Trails,
