I've seen online conversations about having dogs in the truck bed under a camper shell, or -topper, or -caps or whatever they are called in your region.
Initially we wanted to get a SUV again but with the 2021 Durango being $55K and the 2022 Wagoneer being $78K we have decided to keep our 2018 RAM. We love it and we have zero issues with it. Its got 40K miles on it, PWR train warranty is 5yr/60K (they reduced it from 5yr/100K) and the extended warranty is 7yr/100K. Its got all the options we want.
So we think about putting a camper shell on it.
I've already inquired with LEER, ARE and Ranch. LEER offers a sliding window in the front, while ARE even offers one that completely tilts and has dog screens on them as well.
Ranch was recommended to me, I've not heard of them before.
Now, obviously my biggest concern is heat and cold.
Do you think the sliding window in the truck can deliver enough heat/cold through the little window into the shell? Perhaps an additional 12V fan would help?
A rooftop a/c unit?
Has anyone here done something like this?
Any info/help would be appreciated
