I cut a big hole!!! IN MY CAMPER ROOF

Below, the 2x4's are "severely caulked to the roof, the black is a piece of inner tube to seal the corner--wraps around the corner and over th etop.

Below, trying to show how much tent droop--at the worst--with top closed. There are some toggles on the tent (factory) and I hope to attach some very light elastic to them and up to the top corners. This will help keep the slack out both up or down

With the help of the neighbor, got the aluminum deflector on---intended to keep driving rain at speed, out of the hinge area, and slightly improve the look
