Bill,
I thought "All was fair in love and vintage Airstreams"? ;-) I didn't
know the II was bigger, you learn something new every day! After doing
some serious camping in a 13 foot SOB for several years, our (self
contained) Bambi feels palatial. I measured whats left of our vent cap
and it is 14"x14"? We need to replace it and are in the market for a
new one.
Best regards, Peggy
Bambi II
