    Are you building this one as well? Will we still be available if we start building one and have questions or looking for input?
    Thanks Kirill.

    Yeah man, we are building this one as well. We are actually going to do a E350 Highroof 4x4 Van. The taco is great, and so is the camper. But we want to have a shower, and be comfortable on long trips. The taco is an access cab and our big dog just doesn’t fit.

    Yeah absolutely. Reach out via email or instagram.

    Just read through this after seeing the for sale post. I'm super interested in doing something like this - but I have a 4Runner. Do you by chance have a break up of what it cost by section? I.e. Tent material cost, extrusion cost, bed rack cost, etc.

    Unfortunately I don’t have an exact breakdown of ever item. The 80/20 would cost you around 1500-1700 delivered. Fabric if done on your own would be pretty cheap. If you get the fabric done. I’ve been quoted upwards of 2000. Aluminum panels are around 200-300 for the top “tent” portion. The lower aluminum panels are around 400. It’s all up to just how much want to do on your own.

    The floor boards for the bed, I used the HDPE. Which surprisingly enough works really well. They are relatively light and don’t make noise when you move around. The padding is 3” memory foam mattress, and 1” of firm foam. So a total of 4” mattress I purchased from Amazon.

    Did you use the same vinyl material as the first time, or did you use something different that is more waterproofing? I really like the way it turned out. Any issues not having a 'skirt' to guide rain outside of the bottom extrusions? Slowly in the progress of doing my own DIY wedge and your thread has been an amazing help! Much appreciated!
