Looks good - that's a clever idea on what looks to be the heater setup - you're going to have the hatch pop open to allow airflow? I like that idea a lot for reducing perforations in the shell, but curious how you'll deal with the rest of the hatch being open.
We have a Lavaner 4kw alpine pro with auto altitude adjustment and have been happy to have the extra BTUs on a few occasions when temps get down into the low 20s. No issues with sooting and we keep it in a diy portable pelican style box. It's not permanent, but we don't need to haul around...
I was fortunate for an opportunity to compare directly 2nd Gen Tundra models with hatch vs barn doors in person prior to making our decision. I agree that each person has different needs and wants from the camper setup, I was sharing that we personally have liked the barn doors more for our use...
My $.02 is:
1. Glad we got the hatches as we stand on the tailgate a lot. It's kind of our porch and nice to be able for me to stand up straight getting in and out. I'd hit my head a lot.
2. Barn doors on both sides. They will get a lot of use and aren't something that can be easily added...
Dang! You went full send on that build!
Just finished my self installed insulation, and a headliner from the ovrlnd folks. It's awesome. You will love all of the options you went with.
Not really able to help on this other than to say it is 100% doable depending on the size of your truck/camper. With our bed pulled out, there is a great space below to put a bunk. We are going to be building a bench on one side, which could be combined with an L shape bunk on the cab-side...
Hammock Daisy Chain Straps - $7 and a handful of self tapping screws and you'll have close to the same thing for under $10 total.
I have on order, and am going to put in T-track in the same spot, so I can connect battery powered lighting, hooks for accessories, etc. using t-nuts and move it...
That makes sense! Didn't to intend to sound like I was nit picking - I don't have a Tacoma and was really interested if it had a 12v tap for DC to DC as that would be sweet in addition to the 120!
