I've been debating this myself.
Did OVRLND tell you how much the barn door extensions would be? I've been meaning to email them about it but haven't gotten around to it yet

I’m pretty sure Jay lists that on his website

It’s not, just the standard barn door price, not the extensions.

question is, what is involved in doing a home install if they're going to ship to you?
Off topic, I was looking to do their headliner kit at home. Just have them ship. Anyone tackle that themselves and how was the install?
Also, I'm open to other options using locally sourced materials.
Currently, my ceiling is insulated and covered in Coroplast. A 4x8 sheet was not enough however, so I had to use multiple sheets and the seam is hideous. I used white gorilla tape at the seams, but it looks horrendous now. The coroplast is being held up with velcro but sags in some areas, especially right now during the summer heat. The velcro holds up well on the frame of the camper, but the velcro part that's on the coroplast, that doesn't hold up as well, so it'll sag. I'm sick of seeing it like that. Was thinking of buying my own stretch fabric at Hobby Lobby or Joannes and tackling it myself. They sell headliner foam backed rolls on amazon too. Anyone here have pics of their headliner solution that isn't from ovrlnd? That's one thing I wish they offered back in early 2021, was a headliner solution and paneling.

I ordered my headliner, but I did remove it to install my fan, lighting, wiring and insulation. I imagine it would be a pretty easy retrofit to install one from OVRLND. I am not good a sewing, but if you are, that may be an easy job as well.

Excited to see this build, we've been thinking of a 2nd OVRLND build on a full size flatbed or adding a flatbed to our Gladiator. Are you setting the camper directly on the bed or on top of side tool boxes?
It will sit straight on the bed, no boxes.

Following closely. I had no idea they would build a flatbed version. Pretty sure the OVRLND is the best camper for the price given the customization they will do. If they will do a flatbed it's a game changer. Anxious to see the layout. Will the sidewalls drop for bed access or just rear entry?
Yeah I've been blown away by their openness to try new stuff on the camper. They are putting in floor joists so I can put a floor in it and make it a sealed unit unit when it's off the truck.
I'll have a hatch on the passenger side that will flip up and a drop down hatch on the driver side as well as barn doors on the back.

I’m glad you mentioned this. I spoke to Jay when we stopped by in Flag last month and talked a bit about a flatbed. He said they didn’t put a floor in and I was really wondering how they sealed it against water and dust. I get that it’s not that different than sitting on a bed rail, but in some senses it is as water can more easily pool on a flatbed edges. I’ll be really interested to see how this is set up. The raised internal floor is a good idea. As are the hatches, which most flatbeds don’t seem to have. Having to always go in one small door to get something always seemed limiting to me. I also have thought about the door and big rear hatch configuration on this flatbed I found (not mine).
Any idea how much the bed of your truck weighed when removed?
I've thought about adding a side entry door to ours after we get it, but it won't really add anything to the layout we are going for. My factory bed was around 450lbs if I remember right, and my old bumper and swingouts were another 250lbs plus all the weight was behind the rear axle. The new bed ended up around 900lbs, but I added a foot and a half, a rear winch, way more storage and most of the weight will be forward of the axle now.
I love that. Your truck is one of the ones they sent me as an example.

Very cool. Which model was this?
