Nice job on choosing and installing the roof hatches. Care to share the model#?

Thanks, they are Bomar 900 Series deck hatches.

Another shot of the Sienna seat installed!

That looks really nice. The seats and floor really freshen things up in there!

Sweet build out. I've got a 97 Chinook and am currently on a 5-6 month cross country trip in mine http://nowheretobetour.blogspot.com/ I've thought about lifting mine but I'm a cheap bastard and never get around to it. I really like mine though. Not to big and really comfortable for traveling. I've had mine a few places I shouldn't have but it all turned out alright. Again, that's a sweet looking Chinook you've got there. I'll follow along with your continued build out. Thanks for posting!

whats the interior height in that thing... Im just over 6'3... trying to decide if I would be comfortable. Wife and I have been eyeballing these for a year.

Awesome rig! I'm also in CT, have a conversion van I'm building out and a DR350 for the back. What part of the state are you in?

You would probably be able to stand up in the middle of the rig but would be close.

Thanks, I live in New Haven. Speaking of DR350s, I might be ditching mine and keeping this new bike I scored for cheap. KTM 620! Little heavier but should still sit nicely on the back of the rig.

Thanks... if you ever end up measuring your actual interior height do post it please. Having a hard time getting a real number, and I cant just go to a lot and check one out as you know. Thanks! I'll be watching the build.

Quick google search shows 6'5" for almost all the models except the Destiny model which is on the Chevy chassis. The AC unit does hang down a couple inches in the middle of the floor plan that you will have to duck under when moving around.

Nice KTM! I like the white/black color scheme. Got any van parts you're looking to get rid of, seats or anything like that?
