Cool got the tailgate camera running. Just need to do the brandmotion. Did you also loose the SOS function when changing out the mirror.
I believe so, I would probably never use it anyway

I’m a bit confused by what you are asking. What do you mean by the wings and awning windows? For the 270degree awning? Please expand explaination.

I'm thinking the poster wants a window to fit the side hatch but doesn't want it to slide, they want it to hing out like an awning. Tern makes similar windows (I had one in an AT Overland Summit) but they won't with the ACCC for the Gladiator. The one I know of that fits is the very expensive and very small one that GP Factor has installed. https://www.gp-factor.com/shop/canopy-camper-side-door-pdh-window-hatch-kit however this has no screen and again is very small.

I have seen someone put a sliding type in their hatch but that was a sliding type and it required cutting one of the support beams. It's still plenty strong (and far less expensive) but not what the poster is asking for.

For the canopy indeed the old available off the shelf option right now is the GP Factor that opens out. I haven’t looked into this myself as we ruled it out due to security reasons and being more stealth when camping. Though if one became available at a reasonable price the window could be tinted to keep that stuff up.

That’s correct I want awning windows for the hatch, I did find the small GP factor window but it’s too small and too expensive, I did find some sliding windows but I really wan the awning type so still looking might have to fabricate my own

...For now I have added hinges and a latch (not installed yet in the photos) so we have access to the space between the cab and camper. It is great for storing our dirty clothes, shoes and helmets. Keep the stinky stuff outside.

This is a really fantastic mod. Can anyone comment on how difficult it was to get those side filler plates removed with the camper installed? Are you accessing the mounting hardware through the rear window?

Thanks in advance!

I accessed the bolts by just reaching around the panel, it was not difficult. The hardest part was pulling the panels away from the mastic. I found that a paint scraper was the easiest way to pry the pieces apart.

I thought I saw a video by AC showing the window gull wing option in their new campers. You might want to touch base with your dealer and see if he can order them for you.

edit- here's the video

How did you route the Brandmotion cable from the camera to the dash?
Down through the inside electrical channel of the camper and came out below the tailgate area. I then ran everything under the truck along the frame rail. I believe it was about 21' of wire to get it there. I came in through the grommet under the seat and ran up the side of the dash/door to get to the mirror.

If I remember correctly I ran it through the back of the bed and underneath the cab to one of the plugs underneath then routed through the cab to the unit. It wasn’t difficult. Most time was spent cleaning up the install.

I ran mine through the grommet on the passenger side firewalll rather than the floor plug. I do not traverse deep water often but wanted to avoid affecting the plug as much as possible.

Either way. Some Silkaflex will resell any plug making it as watertight as from the factory.
