Any additional info on possible material sources would be appreciated.  I thought I had read here some where that FOT dos not have this material any more.  If they do I would also like a couple of yards.
When we were at Foretravel in June, we asked at FOT, MOT and went through Bob Grath's trailers of Foretravel parts.  We were told that FOT had the material specially made and there wasn't any more available.  We were grateful to find the "tablecloth".  If anyone is in the Portland, OR area, I can find out the name of the outlet where my friend bought her material -- maybe there is more there.

That is why I used the bottom of the tv cabinet and screwed it to the roof and it covered exactly where the old tv cabinet had been, so have a wood panel up there now and it also still has the light that is in the bottom of the cabinet

Thanks for the link Patricia.  I took a different route when I modified the cabinet.  I cut 6" off of the front and about 4" off of the back of the cabinet then reattached the face frame and back.  I did not have a piece of material that was useable to cover the ceiling.  Worse case I will find a cabinet shop somewhere and make a couple of pieces of cherry to cover - or have them do it.  I prefer the wood on the ceiling rather than the material.....
