  • Wasatch Overland in Salt Lake City installed my new Tuffport High Top on my E350 Econoline Van. They all also installed insulation and cedar siding inside the High Top. Smells like Campfire, Bacon, and Cedar inside now.

    Great video! So strange though. I went right to the website and the prices were clearly listed there. Not sure why so many in the comments struggled with this but its all good. Thanks for the work.

    If I ever do a high top I am definitely going to call Wasatch overland. I had been looking at Fiberine but would definitely lean this direction. The top looks great on the van.

    Looks awesome but wow they are $$$$ even more than Fiberine! Only worthwhile to install on a newer van or a very low mile older van $7K is a HUGE investment but to stand without stooping is golden!

      @j03y__ Рік тому +1

      Fiberine base price does not include and wood strips on the walls for mounting cabinets and wood in the ceiling for a rack. These are all included with the tuff port so after you factor these things in the cost is about the same. As of late it seems fiberine is also charging 650 for the gel coat.

    I'm seriously jealous. I had mine installed in Canada but I had to just figure out the interior paneling and stuff. So many wasted hours and second guessing everything I have done while I was doing it haha. It's a year later and I'm still not finished.
    The top looks amazing can't wait to see the line-x and all of your gear back on it.

    The composite “honeycomb” is called Vertacell composite. It’s been used in the light and medium duty bus industries to construct the bus body into a uniform unibody construction. For decades this verticell composite body structure has proven to be stronger than conventional steel framed and skin structure.

    Great work on a high-top.
    The insulation part seems....meh. R22 was mentioned about reflectix type insulation. Sadly that's not the case at all. Also, looked like there were air gaps between the wood and reflectix, might consider some thinsulate in that gap if it exists. You will get convection air movement which will lower the effective R-value. Not trying to be overly critical, but reflectix is poor insulation when it's touching anything as the foil outside layer is really good at thermal conduction. Reflectix site has a good, detailed outline how to get the most out of their product, but mostly it gets ignored as people slap it in vehicles. I'm sure it will help insulate a little, but maybe R0-3range depending on the details. As an added bonus a bit of thinsulate will reduce noise from rain on the roof by a tiny bit.

    Hi! Your van turned out great! I am restoring a Chinook campervan that has a fiberglass topper. Mine roof appears to be unsupported, but the fabric roof lining was damaged and I'd like to switch it up for asthetics and do something like you did. There does not seem to be anything withing the fiberglass to screw into to attach any kind of ceiling. What are the metal supports you used and where can I find them? I'd appreciate any info you can offer. Thaks!
