      Thanks! It's worked pretty well for me! Softopper should just sell mesh panels, that would be the best!

    Nice tip! Man they need to black out that aluminum hardware. Makes the topper look like an old lawn chair folded up.

    • @TregsTravels
      @TregsTravels  Рік тому +3

      I completely agree! I use the boot cover when it's folded up but if they blacked out the aluminum it would look so much cleaner 👌🏻

    Man keep these videos coming in. I’ve essentially copied your build. The only thing I did different was I bought the mesh rear window. From softopper instead of the tent.

    • @TregsTravels
      @TregsTravels  Рік тому

      That's perfect! That's what I would do too if I had the 6.5 ft bed 👍🏼 how good is the mesh rear window from sofTopper? I've been curious to hear from someone who has one

    Have you driven with the front partially open and the mesh? Loving this idea for my dogs.

    • @TregsTravels

      I haven't! I have the vinyl rear window so you're not supposed to drive with the sides up and the rear closed...but if you have the mesh rear window I bet you could! That would be perfect for the dogs

    What about just getting the replacement mesh flap for the back? Do you think that would be enough?

    • @TregsTravels
      @TregsTravels  4 місяці тому

      Yeah it definitely makes a difference! I've found that having a couple spots open to the air really lets the breeze flow through. Some guys have just thrown the net around the topper and that's worked well for them

    hey, sorry if you brought this up in the video & i missed it, but can you still fold yours up with the netting? does it rip?

    • @TregsTravels
      @TregsTravels  Місяць тому +1

      I've left it in when I folded the topper but it kind of got tangled on itself so now I just take it off

    Appreciate the video on the DIY mesh window inserts.
    I’m curious after watching a few more of your videos on this SofTopper in your opinion does the inside of the truck bed stay dry while driving at freeway speeds? I noticed the aluminum runners that go the length of the truck bed where the top snaps to. Do those act as water deflectors if ya will to keep water out or from getting in or have you felt the need to add a seal or a DIY trick to keep water out?
    I know I’m asking a lot of questions and I do appreciate you giving me the time to answer them. As I mentioned before in a previous comment I’m about to purchase this top for my Ram Dually and would love to hear real world experiences over anything else. ✌🏽

    • @TregsTravels
      @TregsTravels  7 місяців тому +1

      No problem at all! I love the questions. The aluminum runners have weather seal underneath them so I don't get any water back there at all. I put a little extra weather seal by the front window flap but that's all that I've had to do to keep it water proof. It'll look sweet on your ram dually!

      @@TregsTravelsThanks for this info. I just ordered a SofTopper with no side windows, tinted rear window, third brake light and a DIY doggy door option for the front so my wife’s dog, ok our dog, can get back there when he starts to get outa hand up front. 😜
      You think a pool noodle or something of that nature will fit in between the top and the cab of the truck? I’m thinking about wind noise or the possibility of the top hitting the cab. Does your tip come close ot hit the cab when underway?

      @@HUMINT1​​⁠congrats on the order! That's going to be a sweet setup! You could probably fit a pool noodle in there if you needed to but I haven't had any issue with mine rubbing on the cap. There's about 2" from the front of the topper to my rear light on my cab so as long as I have the straps and fasteners tight on the top it doesn't move at all!
