I love this rig.
Does anyone have a ball park figure on what shipping to NC would cost?
While I would love to fly down and drive it back, it just isn't practical at this stage.
Anyone want to drive it back to Charlotte for me?? :sombrero:
shelb, the costs to ship back to the states, are something around 1300-1500USD depending on how you ship and a few other variables. I'd be happy to ship it to you, shoot me an email if you want more info.
I understand the security that the open mesh cover provides for the sleeping area.
I'm concerned about dust getting into the back, and also into the driver's compartment.
Dealing with dust is a major issue on South American roads........................Any comments from the owner or others with experience using this
sort of bed cover?
havan,
If you leave the canvas top open while running over very dusty roads you will get some dust in the truck depending on the wind etc. however the CAN-BACK top on the back does a great job of keeping out the dust when it's all snapped shut. The only times we have had any trouble with dust have been when we hadn't closed the canvas top....... which we always promptly noticed and closed, once on dusty roads.
I love the canvas/cage combo because it gives you a comfortable sleeping environment in a much wider range of climates. It's basically like sleeping outside with the canvas up, and like a heavy tent with the canvas down. The best part is you can sleep anywhere (including cities, which we have done) and feel safe with the cage. I made it out of 13 gauge expanded metal and .25"/1" flat bar and angle iron. You would need some tools and some time to get into it.
