    I love mine! The quality and price point is great. I don't have a drifter though..... at least not yet :)

    I kept my Prinsu on after install. You could always go with their access rack if the camper gets in the way. There’s a whole gazillion post thread for Prinsu if you’re so inclined. :thumbsup:

    The drifter covers a lot more area then other campers. Thanks for saving me 600$
    I really just wanted a place to stash maxtrax.

    Do you have L Track installed on yours? if you do, there is a very simple solution.

    That’s what I wanted to do as well. Picked up camper in Benicia, and sold the rack 2 days later in Salt Lake City on my drive east.

    Side of the camper works great for maxtrax!

    I’m putting the Frontrunner Windsoors on each side. I’ll mount them on the top on the L tracks.

    I just quoted out my tail gate with HDPE and with shipping it’s still $150. Wow. And that’s just bland white color.

    Somewhat off topic, but I can't wait to see the full size Drifter ..the taco is all I need but I got a feeling the full size is gonna be a game changer.

    Drifter....ARRIVED!
    On the inside perimeter, just below where the bed sits there is a 1.5" strip of aluminum. Thinking about putting velcro there to hold stuff like blue ridge pouches for our "night stand" to hold headlamp, glasses, etc. Anyone else done this? What else have you hung/put up on on the inside.

    Also what are your favorite things to attached to the side walls of the actual drifter on the inside? We don't have that much space because we have frontrunner windoors, but it looks like prime real estate, especially that near the tailgate.

    I was thinking similarly. I don't have windows so I plan to do insulated carpeted panels on the inside walls with velcro pouches to store most of the frequently used small items.

    I agree. We will be getting some literal 'big brothers and sisters'. Also, don't want anything bigger driving in Seattle, but it will really open it up and will expand the community. Looking forward to seeing what others do with theirs!
