AT Habitat, Atlas, & Summit Pictures, ideas, aaand BS

Yes the Long Wide Double is what we got. It's 52 inches wide. If you're shorter you could try 2 regular MegaMats which should be 50 inches wide and would work better. But the LW works good enough imo if you keep it way forward shoved under the tent poles.

If you try to close the habitat with the mat inside it stops about 5 inches short of closed even with the deflate valve open. But if you hook up a pump at that point it's not hard to deflate the pad enough to get the top fully closed. We carry a pump for our SUPs so we use that to deflate the pad. It is a lot tighter fit than the stock pad and it may cause extra rubbing on the tent but I'm willing to take that risk for now. We'll see how it holds up over the course of this season.

 

I don't have a cab side window on the hab so my rear view mirror was completely useless. I was debating completely removing the mirror for better visibility but decided to try one of these mirror mounted screens.

I was running a power line back to the hab so ran the camera cable at the same time.

The hole for the center brake light is actually big enough to fit the camera wire through as well so I didn't have to drill any extra holes in the hab. I just cut a little notch out of the brake light.

Having rear visibility again is great and the wide angle camera almost completely eliminates my blind spots. The refresh rate is a little slow so passing cars can jitter but overall I think it's a great addition.

I will add depending on how you route the cable you will need to buy an extension cable for the camera wire. I was about a couple feet short without it when routing under the truck following the main rear wiring harness.

 

We have been using the exped megamat duo on top of original mattress for the last year or so. Wont sleep in there without it now. It has the added benefit when temps drop down real low of extra insulation under you when sleeping. We pack it away when tent is closed, its worth the effort. It goes really quickly once you have done it a couple times.

I have meant to post about this exact thing. It is a must unless you have a pass through window / rear hatch window. Here is how I mounted our camera, used the middle bolt hole of middle hinge, also a pic showing clearance of rear hatch, has been like this the past year and is one of the things I wish I would have done day 1 of ownership.

 

Dont open your tent with the camera mounted here or you're going to crush it.

 

Good call as that's something I didn't consider originally. However luck was on my side and the camera just clears when open. Not a mm to spare though.

 

I had originally planned to mount it where you did but thought it would for sure get crushed there. It ended up working well for me anyhow. Its definitely nice to have either way.

 

Yeah the camera's a must. A lot easier changing lanes on the highway. I should have gotten the camera from day one also.

The first time I drove away after having the hab open the camera was pointed lower and for one sec I wondered why. Then it clicked that the top pushed it down a bit. Very lucky I mounted just low enough. I would recommend your mounting location for others.

 

Swapped out the shark fin antenna to a pre-12 bump type.






Covered the roof in butyl and closed cell foam to match the doors, walls, and floor. The headliner/roof took me less time and effort that the rest.

 

What's the part number for that antenna?

Man you weren't kidding about taking some time to get a hold of him. I'm still trying, haha. Voicemail box is full and that's the only response I've been getting from calling. Anyone selling a bruteforcefab bumper?

 

Did you try texting him? If you send him what you want to buy, and your email address, he might just take care of you that way.

 

Yeah I texted too, he actually just texted me back!

 

WOOOO!!!!

 

Is there anyone on here that is in the GA area? I have an AT Gasoline Holder (scepter)I am selling locally. Thought I would throw it out there.
$60
Atlanta Ga, Local Sale Only

 

Gasoline, like a Jerry-can holder? Or Propane Gas mount? I'm not in GA, just thought i'd ask for clarification.

 

What gives Ryan, thought your rig would take either lol.
Edited for cl It’s for Gasoline, specifically a Scepter Style

I put a price and pic on it too.

 

If I was in GA, I'd be all over that. Specially with the new build gonna be starting sometime this year. I won't be down that way til early April of 2022, lol.

 

By that time I could have brought it to you on one of my trips lol
If it doesn’t sell, it will be part of the next offroad park giveaway.

 

If you do get up this way, let me know! lol.

 

Nice work! I've been thinking about doing the same thing to relocate my stock backup camera, so I can still see when I've bike on the back. Curious what mounting bracket you're using, or if it came with the kit?
