Subject:Shady Boy Awning + Pipe Insulation for rain
From:Mike \"Rocket J Squirrel\"

I'd like to thank whoever wrote about using foam pipe insulation to plug
the gap between the Westy roof and the Shady Boy awning. I bought a hank
of the insulation sized for 1/2'' pipe and mooshed it into the gap on a
rainy day last week. While not 100% effective, it's a big improvement
over the constant drip of rain that has in the past prevented me from
sitting in my favorite doorway (sliding door) when camping.

Ideas like this keep making the Westy camping experience better and
better for me.

Thanks!
