no. it is not a problem that it opens to the rear. some folks just like to flip forward. the product as obtainable works just fine flipping rearward. i happen to like flipping rearward. i ran into a tree this week in a campground, had to clamp it closed and move the truck. would have been a problem just as much trying to flip forward. note to self, do not go to campgrounds or parking lots. i particularly like the cover that opening rearward provides, great shade and shelter from rain...
so just to recap...it is not a problem to open to the rear.

Picked mine up in May. I don't have nearly enough nights in it yet, but I'll add quite a few more this fall once it cools off a bit.

We tried the 3" topper for a bit, but it was too bulky and rolling it up every time was a pain. It was much more comfortable. We ended up taking the mattress out and putting an Exped Duo, which has the added benefit of making it easier to close the top.

I have a cushy thermarest I throw on top of the mattress I open the valve and close the top. Very comfortable. I also made a sheet for the mattress.

Hello everyone! I just recently found this thread but I've had the AT Habitat for around 6-7 months now. We did a two week trip out to Expo East last October and since then have done many several day trips. I can't speak highly enough of the design and build of this camper! My next step is the build out of the inside! Here's a few pictures of our rig:

James, where are the puddles forming to be exact? We're happy to get it sorted out for you.

Recently bought a trailer to carry all the gear... happened to have an RTT so now there is extra sleeping space if needed. The Habitat works out well, the trailer is a bonus!
My habitat is showing signs of the finish weathering, water streaks and the like. How does any clean them.. I bought the whole shark hide cleaner and new material but it looks like a bigger job than I want to tackle
