It's fantastic. Well-made, the screens let air move but keep bugs out, and it is under the top of the hatch, so even when it is open in the rain there is no leaks. (I live on the coast so that's important.)

They make them for the side windows too, but I wanted the "out of the rain" setup.

Highly recommended.
I really like that.

I use something very similar to this and it works very well. I've only used it in the winter with the windows down a smidge, so can't speak to the fans. Figure with the windows down it won't be that much different than being in a tent.

If you're looking for someone to hit up some IMBA Epics with, reach out! I'm planning on hitting all of them I can this summer.

Looks great!! I did something very similar and stapled some outdoor carpet (~$40 from Home Depot) over mine ... really helped stop things from sliding around and looks a lot better IMO.

Instead of cardboard, maybe use the plastic material they use for lawn signs for backing, lightweight and holds up well.

Definitely. If I were to do it again I would use something a bit more durable. Had them for a couple years now and haven't had the need to remake them yet.

If you pulled the seat bottoms out you can extend the sleeping surface another 6 inches or so for more room.
