First of all Kerry your right about those covers. Just went out and
took a look at how they fit down there in the obelisk. Now I wonder
how do you take the dog house oft from the body of the coach. Looks
like that bottom part of dog house is bolted or screwed on someway.
But I have a rug in the way and really don't know what to expect
underneath that material.
