    Brought a used camper and wondering should I keep the side boxes or not? Seem to not help my needs. Any thoughts? Biggest problem is the convince of putting things into the bed and the air flow when I sleep in it. Would like some opinions, thank you.20170902_180351.jpg 20170902_180341.jpg 20170902_180333.jpg 20170902_171439.jpg

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    I'd keep it and put a fan/heater in it

    I would leave one in, preferably the driver's side one, as it doesn't block your rear vision as much as the passenger side would. Plus, it will open it up for one person, plus keep some storage. If there are two people sleeping in the bed, it will be tight with the one, but you can always just move towards the one side.

    Agree with JPinFL. Keep one, specifically the driver side one.

    It's not like he's suddenly going to be able to see through those doors if he removes one or both of the cabinets. :p If I were going to keep one I'd probably keep the driver's side but honestly I wouldn't want them in my sleeping area but that's just me.

    You're going to want to fit some sort of insect screens over the openings if you plan to leave them open at night. I have a couple of different battery powered fans that I've picked up over the years for different vehicles. They definitely aren't air conditioning but it helps to have one either blowing on you are at least bringing in fresh air. The one I have that takes 4D cells will last like a week's worth of nights on low with no problem.
