Overhead bunk in Wasatch Overland top

[hansu]

Hey hey, folks.

Anyone here who has had a Wasatch Overland top installed with the overhead bunk option? Looking at the pictures, it looks like the platform sits on some side rails. I'm curious if the side rails are there in a non-overhead-bunk spec? If so, I'm thinking I'd like to explore a couple of ideas using those side rails which would mean building my own platform(s).

Here's a link for reference: https://wasatch-overland.com/bunk

Those rails sit on top of the upper structure of the van after the roof is cut. What are you trying to accomplish?

Agreed ^^^. Looks like they just mount some angle (carpeted) above the original cut of the van roof and bed platform sits on that. Should be simple to add your own platform.

In addition to a platform for a bunk, I have some ideas about gear hangars and such for when the bunk is not needed. If the rails are there in a non-bunk spec -- I doubt that's the case -- I might just skip having them make the bunk platform for my own design since I'll already be doing some fabbing/hacking.

Correct, the angle is not there if a bunk system is not part of the package.
