Thanks sg1! Wow, that looks like the perfect material for me. I will have to price out the white, 1" thick, self-adhesive backing version. Good points. It is certainly better than aluminum or canvas, but I do not think it will be very good in cold + wet conditions without further...

I finally picked up my 8' SpaceKap and have it installed on my new F-250 (final build thread will be posted once it is all completed). Not an immediate concern but one thing I have been mulling over is the best insulation option for the SpaceKap. It might be a bit of a challenge to fit all the...

Wow, I was not expecting this thread to get resurrected! Thanks for more ideas everyone. I like the idea of mounting four sufficiently long/strong ratchet straps to all four corners of the bedframe/baltic birch board (3/4" thick). Hmm, I wonder if the walls or ceiling of the spacekap could...

SOLD

I am selling my trusty Autohome Columbus Small XL with standard rack mounting hardware, mattress ventilation mesh, and ladder/bag in the San Francisco Bay Area (East Bay). Overall nice preowned condition I'd say. I will post photos this weekend when I get the chance. The shell is very clean...

SOLD!

Thanks Ark. I ultimately decided against a passthrough for several reasons.

I have found the next rig I'd like to move on now. Price drop in accordance. Make a great daily driver/weekender rig for someone.

Is it just me or would anybody else love to see what Maltec could do with a new 2019 Ford Ranger stateside?

I have not been able come across this figure anywhere yet. Anyone know?

I have seen those too! Unfortunately, I would not want to lose to the storage space in the cabover I think.

I see what you mean, but I think it might be worth it for me at least. I'd also be planning to replace the front bench with two sport seats to make it a bit easier to maneuver between front and back.

Thanks for the tips. You are right, lowrider. This doesn't seem like an insurmountable task. I'll keep mulling it over. @Buliwyf I know what you mean. This would be permanently mounted of course. It will mostly be an option to just be able to roll out of bed and hop in the driver's seat...

In my long process of looking at putting together a full-time truck camper (or van conversion) build plan, I wanted to reach out and see if anyone has experience with cutting/installing a full pass-through between the truck and cabin (say in this example a Ford F-150 and a SpaceKap Diablo) like...

I love the concept and execution. Wish there was a modern AWD/4x4 option like that.

I have a Columbus XL Small on a Jeep Patriot. There are several feet that overhang at the front (small end), and they (Autohome) said it would be fine "if you don't jump up and down on the overhang". I have never had a problem or warping.

It looks like Mercedes just announced their 2019 Sprinter offerings today! Unfortunately, no gas engine 4x4 offering by the looks of it. Wish they even did a lighter duty AWD like you suggested.

https://www.tfltruck.com/2018/09/2019-mercedes-benz-sprinter-van-price-specs-gas-tech-review/ I'm a little bummed out that the 4x4 will not be available with the new 2.0L gas engine.

Decided to ask the marketplace for what I am looking for instead of the other way around. I am on the market for a 4x4 (or AWD) high roof (I'm 6'2") camper van and based in the San Francisco Bay Area. I'm looking for something with bulletproof reliability (if high mileage/older in particular)...

This is not intended to be a particularly productive thread (hence "rant") and somewhat hyperbolic, but I am trying to poke some fun at this topical absurdity. For the life of me, I do not full understand why the concept of a reasonably priced factory 4x4 or AWD van is so much to ask in the...
