I cringe thinking about how bad that body must twist, seeing how its a unibody, there's no support structure in the walls, and now there's a giant hole in the only part of the body providing torsional stiffness.

The rear bumper box looks like its about to fall off just standing still. I can't imagine that holding up very long.

I had hopes of that too, but then they references 65k in the description... Maybe they missed a decimal point too?

Someone needs to email them to figure out the reality of seriousness here :-p -- Not it.

Hi;

I believe Derek follows the factory mandate and leaves the roof in place over the cockpit a la SMB. The tent is merely built to the full length of the van.
