    I didn't weigh it, but I would guess around 200 lbs. 2 1/4 sheets of plywood (~160 lbs) and then the drawer slides, handles and fasteners.

    Thanks. They are carpet squares on top of 1" rigid foam insulation. Cheap and easy. But, if I had to do it again, I would attach automotive carpet to 1/4" panels over the foam for a cleaner look.

    We have the +3" cabover on our F150 and love it. It was one of the main selling points for us as we wanted to keep our in-bed drawer system. I'm 6'2" and have a couple of inches above my head inside when standing on our drawers (they are 11" tall). I don't think it looks weird from the side...

    Thanks. I saw that Crollison had his on the side of his two campers. I would like to have it plumbed through the camper, but probably wouldn't keep it connected while in route. It looks like you have a Truma Vario. Is that correct and do you like it? Did you install it yourself? Thanks Kelly

    Thanks for the feedback. How has it been using the Megaswing? I also have been considering that route since it would solve the problem of where to put the Trasharoo and provide a swingaway base for 1Up bike racks as well. But I wondered about whether it would be cumbersome to always have to...

    For those of you running a propane tank on the side of your campers, have you run into any issues from hitting branches etc. on narrow trails? I am thinking of adding a Propex furnace and am considering where to mount a10lb tank. The side of the camper is the most likely spot for me (don't have...

    I have the OVS 270LT. It works extremely well, but won't completely keep rain out, particularly above the tailgate.

    The ceiling has the ceiling liner from OVRLND. The lighting is just a few 12v puck lights installed in a piece of plywood attached to the ceiling ribs with nutserts and machine screws similar to OVRLND's push bars.

    Sorry for the delay. Here are a few photos of my drawer build and the finished product. I built them when I still had just a cap on the truck. Let me know if you have any questions.

    That is an issue if you don't have opening windows. For me, I can pop the Artic Tern windows and open the outside latches from the inside.

    I have been traveling. Once I get back, I will take a few photos of my drawer set up.

    You might want to hold off on any suspension upgrades until after you get the camper. I'm not sure they are necessary solely for the OVRLND. If you are looking for more clearance or want to improve the ride, then that is a different issue. I did my suspension upgrades awhile ago when we thought...

    The flood lights are Leisure LED RV porch utility lights. $10 from Amazon. The hatch light is a Hella Marine strip LED light that can be either white or red colored light. I haven't finished the electrical system, so I can't comment on how well they work. We will put two puck LED reading lights...
