I agree that the cheap EZUps are less durable. The ones with
fiberglass bows and low tops. However, I believe SAMs has been selling
Express IIs for less than $200. And, I have not seen any of the poorer
quality ones at SAMs.

Does anyone have a good source for replacement tops? Especially custom
made ones with graphics on the valances?

My Caravan has a steel frame. Aluminum is offered, but, since I was
not worried about the weight, I got steel thinking that it would be a
bit more durable. After less than a year's use, the paint is flaking
off and it is rusting.
