I ended up getting that rack I mentioned two replies ago, and Yakima bars to hold it.

I kept the whole thing, so it has a "visor" look to it. A few notes if anyone else tries this:

I’m just concerned about the stability of the thing, so any argument that doesn’t like it being exposed—while understandably noted—isn’t really a concern for me. Airstreams and plenty of other travel...

I have one of those on my VW Bus. I would scrape it / bottom out regularly. Maybe not as big of an issue on the Ford as it sits a bit higher? While we’ve never scraped the middle of the van, the back...

Sequoia and Kings Canyon’s website days their roads are open, too. Higher elevation, and there is free camping in Sequoia National Forest. Higher elevation if you don’t want the heat of the 395.

Attaching propane directly to back door?

As I’ve been building out my van I’ve considered where to put the propane tank. I’ve got a small 5lb tank. It would fit underneath, but then changing it would be a pain, turning the tank on / off,...

Roof rack for above cab with SMB penthouse

SMB Texas did an immaculate job on my poptop and I couldn’t be happier with the results.
