Their RV4 mold fits the Rocket very well. Tell them it's for a Rocket...I ordered mine sans fabric (just cushions) and had a local guy do the upholstery. Your mileage may vary...

Fit well. Cant remember for sure, but think RV-4 (I can check). Psx's say is comfortable. Went w./Oregon Aero in front -- veryyyy nice........... Seems front cost 2-3 times more -- but well worth it.

Some 20 years ago (long before the Claw was invented) I bought 3 dog tiedowns and cut out the crimped area (that held the loose ring in place) and welded the shaft back together.? I have used them ever since in all types of soil; never a problem.? They might bend but will not break.? In loose soil I would probably trust them more than 3 straight pins driven into the ground.? Just my 2 cents worth.? Jim Winings? RV-4 - 2000 hrs.; F1 Rocket - 400 hrs. -----Original Message----- From: Rob Ray Sent: Tue, 26 Feb 2008 4:58 pm Subject: RE: Rocket-List: tie downs and canopy covers Greg, Not referring to SS dog stakes, would never use those even for a dog.
