NO bleach on that red! it will turn orange, that privy tent is worth about
$2500, these are very rare and sought after (I know because I constantly get
asked to sell mine)especially the red and white. I have a 58 red stripe
tent, its the same tent but no privy, I also have a matching piece that
snaps on around the bottom of the bus to block air, never seen this piece
anywhere, can't really figure how it goes but we've never tried to use it.
After seeing James though I may have to at least set it up and look at it,
take some pics, then pack it again. I'm using a cheap one.
