I have an Eagle from the early 2000’s. It has the flaps on the outside. They now longer stay up because the velcro is worn out. Borrowing some ideas, using pvc pipe, I made them into awnings but I have grown tired of that solution so I replaced the velcro and they stay up now. One problem though. When the top is popped I cannot reach the flaps when they are rolled up. It would require a ladder. I used to use a ladder to get in and out of my camper but I didn’t like that because it took I up to much floor space when stored. I now have a hitch step which works great. I am considering cutting off the flaps but I hesitate to do so because I’m afraid my windows will leak. I also feel the extra layer of material provides some insulation. Has anyone cut off their flaps? New campers don’t have them. Thoughts?, ideas?
