    It's Just over 7.5". But there's that small piece of plastic at the top so pretty much exactly 7.5"

    Quick Sneak Peak. Big update and probably a video walk through coming soon. I'm driving it to Alaska starting next Wednesday. So I'm doing everything I can to get it done in time

    Damn would love to see some wide shots of the whole bed/interior. Curious how you rearrange things for when the shower is up, and how you prevent water from hitting other things. Quite impressive having a shower in a short bed! :thumbsup:

    I've got a 30 gallon bladder that sits behind the drawers under the floor. I have an oil pan under the truck for the grey water. But I'm just draining on the ground unless I'm in a parking lot or something. I'm using environmentally friendly soap and such.

    I'll do a video once I get to Juneau and have some time. As long as you just shower with your back to the wall and put a towel on the floor, water hasn't been an issue. I just have to move the cooler and lift the counter out and it becomes the wall.

    Insta is fly.with_ben if anyone wants to follow the journey on a more day to day basis.
