I’m still trying to decide if I want full barn doors or halves. And if I want the extra bedding height lol.

If I find one used before February I may settle on whatever it has. Otherwise I’m ordering new.

The full barn doors are handy. I'm old so the thicker bedding is nice too!

Yeah I went on a biking trip a few weeks ago and slept in the back diagonally lol. It was fine but was a bit odd closing the tailgate from the inside. I did all of my cooking on the tailgate though.

Probably will go with the extra height for sure. You have an exterior pics you could share with the top closed?

Solar tray mounted. This was driving at 70 MPH on the freeway. Can't figure out if I want a second one, stack the panels and deploy when at camp or keep them inside and put them out when I get to camp. Leaning towards a second tray.

Would you say it’s worth it? lol. Seems most everyone I ask says it’s the one option they wish they’d have selected.
Yeah. I'm 63 years old and the extra padding is DEFINITELY worth it.

Who does have the extra bedding height?
I apparently do, I didn't remember ordering it but my cabover is 10" high. I certainly appreciate being able to leave our bedding "upstairs". It makes for a quicker setup/breakdown of camp, and keeps our bedding out of the bed area. We are using a 4" Exped Megamat, so inflatible which helps.

Downside, I think someone mentioned here or on the ExPortal thread that it does decrease clearance on tight trails with lots of trees. I've certainly ran into this with deadfall and branches.

I know we've talked about this before. But what defines 10" bedding height? I think I previously posted that mine measures 10"
I lied,damn fish story,
