Several US A-frame manufacturers have carried his technique forward.

Or do you know where I can easily download one? On the back of my AlinerI had a large (long) wind out window, when visiting the cliff tops on the Nullabor, there was a howling northerly wind blowing out to sea. We drove in ok and parked sideways in the parking lot near the cliffs. As we were walking back to the van SWMBO said she thought the rear window was lifting. I had tighly closed with the chain and the window levers were down inside (I also had something on them to stop them fromvibrating up when down- Velcro I think). We have sealed the hinge and put new rubber around to no avail.Dont know if we have used the correct seal so any help would be appreciated.

Lots more research for me to do by the looks. Bit late, but having had an A'Van Camper Trailer (A shape) and a Jayco pop top I found that both had some initial teething problems (quality control issues) however Jayco wins on the repair/warrant issues hands down and is known for being one of the best in Oz even making good on things after expiry of the warranty for me and I have heard others say that too.You can ask other Jayco owners by going to the Jayco Website www.jayco.com.au (put in au or you'll get the US website) and look up Travel Diary under owners info. Look up the Avan club website and contact them. It will sort us out ATM and clearance wise :) We also changed the chains, jockey wheel and hitch to ensure better function and weight specifications. How do you open the 12v fuse boxcover in 2015 avan cruiseliner? If you are talking about the Avan camper trailer Gerty they are not a lot different, depending on the condition of the van springs etc, it is a straight push up (two sides to it, joined by a bungy cord) but not as easy as a pop top.
