no right or wrong way.   the easy way gains a luggage rack,  lots of room to
stand up in, and a bed if you make your own custom platform.  AND the
satisfaction of knowing you didnt give yourself a hernia messing with that 400lb roof
metal clip.   all doable in one weekend, with a JIGSAW  and a drill.
Jugsaws are what theyre called when you slip and slice your jugular because you are
nerve wracked from cutting the donor van at the pillars (which you wont have
to do if you do it the easy way)
That's good, Chris. I was getting concerned with all the jugsaws and drilling
going on. I had to make sure I wasn't on the PlayToy Discussion Board or the
Plastic Surgeons' Channel.

As for the sleeping platform, I can't see how you can fit any kind of
mattress other than an inflatable saline version as there is almosty ZERO clearance
in the midsection if you do not transplant or modify the arched roof. A
platform of any kind will bring clearance there to less than zero. Either that or
raise the pop-top and get less AERO.

ps:
too bad the doka roof is too short been contemplating a poptop there.
thoughts?
