Subject:Side curtain, tire question and thanks...

Hello all,
I recently purchased a 93 EV MV and the PO was a smoker.  I would like
to know if I can wash the side curtains in my washing machine, as I
can't find any mention in the owner's manual.

Also, I can't find any info in the manual on the bench seat / bed in the
back.  Is there a special MV "insert" that I am missing?

Again, I would like to thank everyone for their opinions on the EV; I
think I would have bought it regardless, but the responses I recieved
were great, and just make me feel better about the purchase.  My wife is
really stoked and is contemplating camping once again (as long as there
are showers and toilets ;^) ).

I am also wondering on replacement tire size.  I found Dunlop SP4000  on
sale for $51 each from tire rack; I'm also able to mount and balance
them myself as our lab.  The EV currently has the original GoodYear
tires (N 64, made in G.B.)-they suck in the rain and I don't want my
wife to find out how bad they may be in the snow after it's too late.
I'm planning on replacing the 195/70/15s with 205/65/HR15s.  Has anybody
switched to this size?

TIA,
