Show me your shell!

Im single, so not too much. I have a camping tote, a table, a chair, my recovery boards, stove, and my RTIC 65. I am still accumulating things though.

In the above picture, I also had a Y pipe and a set of headlights that I was carrying.

 

I've got my RTIC 20 hiding in there too but have a fridge in the cab behind my seat. I was camping solo with this loadout too.

 

goals.. but this was in a pop up camper?

 

Yep. FWC Finch too. The smallest one they make.

 

Pics to come as soon as I can get it wrapped up. Started prepping it today.

Hysterical!! Brown santa!!!

 

I think its an ARE DCU. Ill check later for you

 

Thank you. I want one just like it, but for a first gen. Ha ha

 

I would start looking on craigslist! I found this in Philly.. about 3 hours from me.

 

Got this ARE MX Series truck cap/topper in North Port for pretty cheap. It's made for a regular cab so the curve doesn't match, but it doesn't really bother me that much. I just cleaned all the windows so I can see a little better out of the back. I may try to find another cheap cap with windoors to see if I could swap them out.

Has anyone ever modified the "vista window" into something more useful? I was thinking about trying to turn it into a pop open vent.

I saw that A.R.E. has a rigid light bar bracket that replaces it, but that doesn't seem like it would be useful that far back.

 

Has anyone found a way to allow their dogs to stick their head out of the sliding windows (I have a ARE CX) but still somehow retain the screen? I was thinking if it were possible to leave a few inches of screen and cut after that.. but the gaps would likely still let bugs in. Another option would be a removable screen that you could pop back in... Do any manufacturers already have something to solve this?

 

Interesting idea! Could you have a screen in one window but not the other, and only have the one open that you need? I don't know of any solutions, so a diy would probably be your best bed.

 

Ya that could be a last resort, but I'd like to keep both screens in if possible since it seems that cracking both windows gets some airflow going on those really hot nights.

 

Hmmmm. If I were trying to solve this problem, I'd take out the screen completely, put in new screen and leave a little extra. Then I'd sew/glue some small earth magnets onto the screen and some more on the shell itself. That way you can magnet it shut, or leave it open if needed.

 

I'm pretty sure snugtop has some models with removable (or maybe sliding?) screens

 

does anyone know anything about the Wildernest tip top (i think it's called tip top not positive tho)
might be getting one next week

 

Yup our snugtop hiliner sport has sliding/removable screens. We got it with the oversize side window option.

 

tw world deal..had to drive 115 miles each way. Great deal..worth every mile

 

just going to leave this here.... (its for sale... hint hint)
