Hello Everybody,
I'm new to the forum so I hope I am posting this in the correct place. I just picked up a Flip Pack and am looking for a little help. Let me start at the beginning though...
Over the last few years we have traveled OBCDR routes 3 and 5 in a Willys wagon and route 4 on dual sports. We are thinking of doing the WBCDR this summer and were looking for something a little more comfortable that was quick to set up and tear down. I found a used Flip Pac (didn't know it existed until last week) and apparently got a great deal on it. I have to resolve a few small issues.
One: the side windows leak. The guys at Adventure Trailers directed me to Flip Pac directly and I have contacted them. My problem is that I am impatient. Have any of you had to replace these seals? Were you able to source the correct seals frome a standard canopy outlet or did you have to go through Flip Pac?
Two: solid mounting to the truck bed. I know I should just drill and bolt but I can't bring myself to do it. The truck just went through a frame off restoration and I just can't drill. I was thinking of bolting through the stake pockets but, there are only three of them per side. Would this be a good enough seal? I could use clamps, but I hear they dont stay stable for offroad use. I won't drill the bed but I'll go off-road... maybe my priorities are wrong. Any suggestions? I know I'm asking for a magic solution but your comments would be appreciated.
