Lady Shadetree and I both agree the new mattress is very comfortable. Fit is good, with a couple inches gap on either side. The tri fold means it converts to storage mode easily. A lot to like here. Far superior in comfort and function than my raw foam pieces.
I still think we would like the dinette layout better, but this mattress eliminates the need to do anything immediately. I think I may start slowly collecting the parts I need to build the dinette, but put it off until the next lull in camping. We are coming into camping season and have quite a few trips planned. Bigger ones are Sedona, Arizona in early April, and Austin, Texas up to Western Oklahoma in June.
I added rear door pop out windows a while ago. At the time I just modified the plastic to accommodate the latches, which means there is gaping holes around them. Thanks to this forums classifieds I picked up these plastics to use instead, with a bonus that they include shades. Color is wrong but some vinyl paint should fix that. The bottom profile looks to be different than my van but we'll address that when they arrive.
Here's a pic of the area I need to address in finishing up the roof interior. The transition from the bulkhead to the headliner is unfinished. I should have come up with a solution before wrapping the bulkhead in material, but I got excited and forgot to address it. That raw edge of the headliner isn't too visible, but it would look better covered. The front bulkhead headliner is not cut as cleanly as this. My thinking now is to use some 1/8" x 1" metal and bend it to follow the profile, then wrap it in material. I added wood above the headliner I can screw the metal to the headliner, covering that edge.
Lady Shadetree is starting to claim the new top as her own.
