    An idea for you. Design a fold down roof basket for a low profile when not in use and have higher sides when in use.

    I just replaced the exhaust fan in the wet bath of my class B van. It is 6-1/4" dia and is DC powered. You can mount it through the sidewall. Maxxfan Dome by MaxxAir an Airxcel brand. You can even purchase one with a built in LED light. Mine came with the shield for mounting it on the side.

      @@TruckBedliving you are welcome. I looked for 9 months for a vent with fan that would fit in the existing hole in the fiberglass top on my class b. Measure multiple times, check the measurements on line andin the catalogue... it was a pain, but it came and it fit.I am so happy with it.

    With the bed rails easily available you could buy a rack that attaches to them like a exoskeleton that way you don't have to attach it to the camper shell at all. That way you add zero weight to the Tusca and it's still ligthweight and still easy to remove it. To bad they don't make them for mid-size truck beds as i love the idea of a dust free encloser.

    • @TruckBedliving
      @TruckBedliving 3 дня назад

      Definitely a good idea about the bed rails. There’s also a possibility they may expand to the mid sized trucks as well. If you build a platform to raise over the wheel wells and out onto the tailgate it could work with this model.

    you could "make" your own adapter for the a'c unit itselt out of tin. You may even find one that already made that will fit better to work with.(insulate it somehow since it will be outside) Next insulate your hose or use already insulated hose. Next use a larger diameter hose and last make an actual port into the truck bed sealing it up.(maybe a piece of wood tailgate like the others or even a port made in the sliding window on the side) These small adjustments will help tremendously. I have never used one like this but I have a lot of experience in cooling small areas with these. I have even pulled them apart and made them into two piece units to be used indoors not in a window.

    Just bought the Eco Wave2 and used it for the first time last week in a semi. It works, but uses a lot of battery. 4 1/2 hours of use on max with optional battery and about 8 hrs on eco mode. You have to exhaust the hot air from inside the area you’re trying to cool at the same time your cooling it.
