Hi folks, I'm new here. Although, I have read this entire thread today... It has been a great read and very informative. Thank you Steve AKA Bajadulce for taking the time to document your build. Also, Thank you Steveo for recently asking some of the same questions I was wondering about regarding Bajadulce's build. The reason I am here is last week I bought a Sunradar canopy off of Craigslist. It was disgusting looking when I bought since it has been sitting in a farm field in Orting, WA. After spending $40 ad the local pressure washer trying to get all of the green moss and alge off, it is starting to look bearable. The reason I bought this is because the entire back wall lifts up like an awning so I can park 2 quads or my lifted Golfcart when I head to the dunes with NO TRAILER. I was amazed when I seen this thing because I have never seen anything like it. In fact, the old timer I bought it from had made a sliding extension to the cabover which protrudes back to the center of the big middle window. So, technically, this thing can sleep 4 people up top and 2 in the bed of the truck if worst came to worst. This thing is a shell with carpeting glued to all of the surfaces. It looked like this may have been some kind of actual camper because it has some aluminum patches on the sides. However, it does sit on the truck bed. On the bottom that sits on the bed rails is a wrap around 2x4 pressure treated. I was told that he did this because the cab overhang was hitting the truck door swing and not allowing him to open them so he raised it up. After reading past posts about vehicle widths and marker lights, I measured the width of the canopy and it comes out to 74" yet the back door requires the removal of the truck tailgate. 1. Is there anyone else who has one of these? 2. If so, what years where they made? 3. How many were produced? As it is, I plan on using this as a make shift man cave / garage / camper. So far I have designed and put together a flooring system of polymer sheeting custom cut to layed in the truck bed so I don't have to feel the ribs of the truck bed. Then, I used some felt covered interlocking gym mats which are made out of used tires that I also custom fit into the truck bed. Now, it feels like I am walking on carpet barefoot. The great thing about both products is they will not mold. Because everything has to be convertible to fit my Golfcart or 2 quads in the bed, Has anyone else done this?
