Really, they look wider for some reason. I guess I forgot that the bed of the gladiator is only 55x60. Thx

Could be the wide shot making them look a little fatter

Gi'day mates! I emailed your website directly. But thought it would be better to keep the thread active just in case another reader was interested.

I am interested in purchasing two of the molle panes to install a redarc manager 30 redvision system and was curious if I did would it be possible to purchase two additional brackets?

Also, the hot water tank holder in the diagram on your website is that fabricated by your shop or is it part of the hot water system?

I appreciate your assistance and look forward to hearing from you. Thx

Hey, the Joolca HotTap in the photo is using their mounting bracket. The MOLLE panels have the hole pattern for directly mounting it to them. Are you asking about two extra of the upper and lower brackets that hold the MOLLE panel? I can sell you two more brackets but may also be able to help with whatever your idea for using them. Let me know!

This is the Joolca bracket that I am using:

So I am 6'5" and found that I can sleep with the small hatch up, but sleep better with it down. The problem is, then my Dickenson fire place wouldn't be supper efficient. So what I did is installed a house HVAC register on the small hatch above the fire place hoping that when its down, the heat will rise. And with suggestions on my Instagram post, I think I may add a small 12v fan as well to pull the warmer air into the sleeping area.

Also had time to install the new GP Factor pressure vent. I live in a very wet climate and this is supposed to help with any condensation even though I havent experienced any yet.

Curious, I’m about 5,10 on a good day, would you say that a toddler could sleep our at my head area? Current roof top tent is 92” and we a good amount of room for that.

Sorry for the delay, been super busy with my new job.

You should have plenty of room for the toddler.

Has anyone self-installed, or had installed, the Goose Gear bed plate for the Alu-cab interior system? I’m curious if the holes to mount through to the bed are pre-marked or drilled, or not at all. I am fine with self-install to save some money and have done seat delete installs, but I’ve never drilled through the bed of the truck. Goose Gear is terrible when it comes to instructions on their site.

This is amazing. What a great idea.

Update: Although it wasn't super cold, I was finally able to do some testing this past weekend while on the first section of the WABDR camping at the base of Mt. Adams. Although you could feel some heat coming through, it defiantly needs some help. So I ordered a couple of USB powered electronic fans that I will add later today and hopefully testing the coming weeks. Wish I thought of this before because you can get all in one cooling panels that you could cut and drop in.

Just got back from a 10 day trip to the Oregon Coast, Overland Expo PNW and back to Denver. Slept 9 out of our 10 nights in the camper. The wife and I and the little dog all loved it. All kinds of weather and conditions too, This camper is for sure the best. OVX was awesome too. So many great ideas. Check our Instagram for more pics. IG: beerbeachrepeat

What all-in-one panel are you referring to for example?
Found that those are usually particularly noisy like the fan isn't great quality or silent.
As I'm a light sleeper I usually sleep with earplugs anyway but I'm not alone

I still need to get down to the Oregon coast. Living in Washington, I've done the Washington coast a million times. Time to go south.

Here's my little camper buddy

Something like this.

I ended up buying their dual fans with usb speed switch. Don't think it will move a ton of air, but still should make a difference. Probably really won't know how much until this fall when the temps drop.
