Is the mint colored one for Jimmy Buffett? He has owned a few now.

Wow..those classics look amazing!! Will Sportsmobile mount those on a 7.3L diesel cutaway? If only Ford could bring back the 7.3L Powerstroke! The government would probably put the kibash on that!

The Blue one has a cab rack on the roof that looks pretty interesting - With all the Aluminess accessories, wonder if they are now making those for them as well???

I got a price for one of those roof racks from Kenny @ Aluminess $1795.00 that was a few months ago.

Is this the cab rack? I really want one of those and have been trying to find one. $1800 referenced by Bellpilot seems like a lot though...

I wanted the rack to put my firewood on and a light bar so it did not overload the Penthouse motor. Aluminess makes great racks and accessories and worth every penny. I have a full length Aluminess roof rack mounted on the Penthouse and love it! But for now I will have pass on the cab mount rack.

I am just wondering maybe they add these to the new classics because there seems to be more fiberglass on the top and assume more weight on the penthouse? I have not seen any new classics with the full Aluminess roof rack. Any thoughts?

The GREEN one pictured has a full Aluminess rack mounted to the pop-top.

Regarding the green one pictured, it too has a cab rack. Arithmetic on Penthouse, Lift spec = 200 lbs - (100 lbs for rack + 35 lbs for PV) = 65 lbs.

Exception: When the 45 pounds larger section of the upstairs bed is removed, this adds 45 pounds to the capacity, so the lift capacity goes up to 110 pounds.

When down, the Roof rack spec is 500 lbs. of load.

Hoping my spec and arithmetic are correct, thinking this is similar or the same to 2014s and earlier?
