    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.

      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.

    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.

      thank you! either on the tailgate striker bolt if you can get a lock that fits or right on the mechanical latches of the tailgate itself.

    product gives me tons of ideas but most would need to be custom fit per truck model.

    As far as the rubbing on the front can you loosing the front hold downs and tighten the rear ones basically slid it bake like an inch and will it stay put

    These need tip out windows instead of sliders. Otherwise it is a neat concept.

      yes I can definitely see the advantages of that but would likely increase the cost significantly

    pool noodle at the front against the box...12 volt computer fans on the vents run off a jackery type setup...looks like its good quality at a reasonable price.

    The Eco Flow AC/Heater would be perfect for this unit.

      I had the same thought at first but everyone I know personally who has used them has been left underwhelmed with their performance. The cost is too much to try on a whim. maybe down the road.

      yes but its overall advantages make it worth it so far. I really like how this model can slide right in between the wheel wells.

    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.
