Very nice. I like the lift assist. And the four windows, You can't go wrong with cross ventilation. Watch out Ben and Marty, There's a new player in the game. ;)

Good for you! I like it too. It looks like it will work for exactly what you want it to do.

Very cool. I'm impressed, thanks for sharing the pics. I was thinking of making a strut lift assembly like yours. What pound capacity is each strut?

Nice job. I like all the windows and the fold up bed idea. The lift system looks good and I noticed you also had an extra roof support that looks like it locks in once the roof is up.

I think your right about the force of the lift system with our current walls. I have seen another manufacturer that tried a similar system and the walls were bowed out bad after about a year and a half.

Looks good though, nice job.

Nice job. I like the bugs on the front which I can see in one of the pictures. Homemade does not just work on his camper, he uses it!

I have been too busy to get behind a computer for a while. You did a good job. My one question is do the struts lifting from the sides give you a locking problem with the front and rear panels when the roof goes up or down. My own idea was to put the struts on each side of the panels on a track like a yakima track on the inside. I am impressed with your system.

Yeah for Ben and Marty. I'll tell you, if I had some money,I'd be knocking on their door for a new camper after everthing I have read. They seem to be a great asset to the pop top camper revolution and a great resource for information too. I take my hat off to em.
