    I have a black third gen, and found a killer deal on a new ARE MX shell with OTR on it. But, I'm not totally sold on the way it looks. Does anyone have photos of the OTR shells?

    Also debating carpet liner - any thoughts on that would be appreciated. I don't want the moldy/musty stink if I need to hose out the back, and am not sure how these carpets hold up in the humid south. Thanks!

    If you plan on sleeping in the back you’ll want the carpet liner. Sleeping in the back of an unlined shell in Colorado on a fishing trip for 4 nights was miserable, the condensation was dripping on us all night like sleeping in a slow drizzle.

    Oh interesting. I don't think I'll be sleeping in it since I have a short bed, but it would be nice to keep that option open in a pinch. Does unlined give you any other issues? Temperature considerations/raw fiber glass issues etc.

    My bad. Still learning how to use these threads

    Both are Stock - built correct from the start.
    I guess I probably don’t have one since I don’t what it is. What is a OTR? But I do have an ARE MX topper.
