About halfway done...

Nice to see the camper in the wild. Do all the window layers just velcro? How would that hold up to sideways rain?

I think it would have to be monsooning for them to leak. They are Velcro, and here is a picture of the layers

I'll see how effective the GFC lighting is, but I expect to be adding an LED strip to a few spots to brighten up dim areas. Yours looks well protected, and diffused enough not to blind you.

And that’s just for the lower section, still have three remote light pods on the ceiling.

Interesting.

If anyone else is going to use it, you may want to give a block of instruction on the difference between an appropriate amount of force and yanking it like a lawn mower. The Tacoma's latch mechanism is rather dainty, and I'm positive that some of my friends would destroy it if given a chance to tug on that release.

Good idea, not also need to show the wife how much force is needed too
