    If a place existed that had the following amenities,

    level 15ft wide parking spaces.
    Parking area paved and fenced
    Maybe 18 showers or more
    Laundry room, with a good number of machines.
    Good size restrooms
    A C store with a good variety.
    Good fresh food from a small food court type setup, seating would be community style.

    NO FUEL would be sold.

    What would you pay to park here?

    The vehicle I bought has fabric carpet and fabric seats which I don't like at all.... :biggrin_25512:
    So, after checking my options, I decided to buy a long piece of thick plastic and after measuring all the floor of the vehicle, I cut it and covered the whole floor with it.. One huge piece of plastic covered the whole floor...
    First I cut the paper that came with the plastic as a guideline for the plastic...

    Then, I covered the floor with the plastic... It looked pretty good to me... ;)

    I also covered all the seats with strong thick plastic garbage bags cause I couldn't find the right cover for them and not paying hundreds of dollars to have them made to order. :biggrin_25512:

    :biggrin_2559: Yes sir! Can't say it was a quick easy job... :biggrin_25523:
    But it was the cheapest way I found to protect the carpeted floor and the seats... and it was FUN! :biggrin_25519: :yes2557:

    No it's not too bad... and had I kept it under a roof for all these years, it would be in very good shape....
    I'll definitely have to keep it under a roof after it's restored. Maybe I buy a house just for it... :rolleyes:

    Sorting stuff in my storage... Even though I have given away lots of straps along these 11 trucking years of mine... I also accumulated lots of straps... some are E-track ratchet straps, others are E--track cam buckle straps, a few tie-down cam straps, some are pretty new and most are in great working condition...
    Will sort the ones I want to keep and will try to sell the others...
