Hello all, My name is Ed, Ive recently after many years in a large 2001 lance 1121, downsized to a 2013 Palomino B1500. Although its nicer newer and better on my gas mileage, I am really only finding one problem. I am 5'6', and I dont need the camper popped all the way up. a good 3 inches from being closed is perfect forme to walk around and cook. Its just a pain in the butt to have to get out and tuck the vinyl, and lock it all up/and vice versa after each use. Would anyone have any experience with creating a small sheet of braced aluminum to fit in the perimiter of the roof and walls to created a fixed camper? I have a general idea of lengthening the security latch lock screws and adding a 3 inch sheet of braced aluminum all the way around and use the extended locking clips and bolts through, to keep it secured. Sounds far fetched to many but Im positive it could safely work. The back door is a split 2 piece and I figure I can either put some new vinyl there or completely seal it all the way around. Any positive feedback is appreciated. -CS_Ed
