No I had not seen his thread, I think he was trying to hide it from me
What ideas for a back window do you want? I like what I have but making one that opens, adds water sealing issues. mine is leak free right now, but its been an ongoing issue that I have fixed issue by issue over the last 18 months.
Well for an update:
I decided that my coroplast floor in the tail was not strong enough for much loading, and if I needed to access the spare tire area (jumper cables too) I have to crawl out into the tail. I also wanted to make it flat from car to tail. There was about 3/4 to 1" of drop to the tail. Depending on the grass at Tango's house I might have to use the car as my tent for our meet up in September, and the 1" of drop is annoying for that. So time to fix it:
Old out and new front to back support in place (2x4 ripped in half):
With front bracing in place:
I used some old book case 1x12 wood I had in the shop. it is stained so it will resist some moisture and look nicer then bare wood.
screwed in:
I also decided to replace the back piece of chloroplast as it gets dented when objects in the tail decide to slide back. it also was not holding up to sunlight well. the same wood as the floor will help and add some structural bracing to the back.
Now I can climb out to the end of the tail and not have anything break
I do not think I want to put a load out there for long times but its strong enough to use it if I need to.
I am looking for cheep and nice looking options for the sides to hide the blue insulation. thoughts?
Now if I can figure out how to rig a curtain back there I will have a camper as well as a car
