Any chance you can send some photos of your drawer build? I also have an f150 and want to build a drawer system to height of wheel wells. Thanks!

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

Does anybody have interior latches for your window hatches, either installed by Jay or DIY, that you can post a pictures or two of?

I’m trying to figure how to set up a latch on my windows to secure at night, but allow opening from the inside.

Here are photos of the latches Jay installed.

Hmmm a question, If you operate the slide latch from the inside and if someone push down the outside latches, it looks to me you would be locked inside the camper? Jeff

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.

It depends on whether you have rear barn doors or not. Yes, the solid window hatches are not operable from inside with the latches I have. Certainly a limitation.

However, my rear half barn doors can be opened from the inside on my two year old Ovrlnd version while latched if I unlock the inside top bolt that gives the opposite door with the latches something solid to latch against and just push both doors open together.

Not sure what the story is for the standard back window lift-up hatch or on newer versions.

If you’re really concerned, one option on a new build might be to omit the exterior keyed latch from the solid window hatches and just use the interior bolt Jay is now offering as an option/including (not sure which).

I have been wondering about how to secure the standard rear door as well, I also have a concern of being locked in as well, any help would be appreciated.
