Since we always have some difficulty tucking in the bunkend canvas over the top of the storage compartment on breakdown, I came up with an idea to help.  This works great and since it breaks down, it is easy to haul.  I used 1" PVC and put a screw on adapter on the pole.  I will figure out some other use for the pole with the connector on it.  I made each side piece 18" and the pole is 5' long.  Since we can do a neater job of tucking, I think it will make the canvas last longer. I secure the pool noodle with velcro to keep it tight.  Not sure if the pictures will work, but at least the link is there to see them.  If someone already came up with this, I apologize, but I have honestly never seen it.

Jarhead, the uses are endless! Canvas tucker, emergency crutch, one end of a clothes line, large hook, pretend sword, redneck antenna, pretend gun, weapon. I think you may have invented the worlds best multiuse canvas tucker! Kudos to you!!!! :thumbup:

I failed to mention that when you unscrew the tube and look through it, there is a tiny cross hair with a bean bag symbol that turns green when you are in the sweet spot.

Jarhead:  :lmao:  It's hard to beat Al when his laser vision is activated. (He's had special lens implant surgery, ya know.)
