On this campsite, I couldn't reach anything on the driver side of the truck. So the stool got used.
If my truck wasn't lifted 4" and riding on 35" tires I suspect I'd be able to reach the latches in most situations. But that's no fun being stock. |
Our pickup is stock but being newer it is really tall. The top of the hood is almost up to my chin! It's about as tall as my old two ton was. I figured we could get in and out the back door using the step bumper or maybe a hitch step. Right now I like to just leave the tailgate shut and open the lift gate, and step up on the bumper and swing one leg and then the other over the tailgate.
Just trying to figure if we ever wanted to upgrade from our high roof topper. It would be nice to sleep cross-ways and be able to stand up, but I hate to think about the height of a real hard side. We probably wouldn't use the cabover at all except for a place to store bedding etc during the day. They
used to make non-cabover pop-ups but I haven't seen one in years now.
