    Ran in to a co-worker who bought a new ARE camper shell with a cool "walk in door" option. I wonder if something like this could be installed on a flip pac. Look at the pictures on the link.

    I looked into the ARE door option and was told by the dealer here that they self-destruct offroad. Nice design though.

    Default Drop down window

    Anyone have the drop down window between the truck and camper on your flip pac? Seems like that would be nice but I don't know if its worth the $245. What do you think?

    Anyhow, I have decided to go with no windows on the driver's side and a 14"x60" window on the passenger side. I do have the option to go with a smaller window (14"x52") but I don't see any advantage to this. Thanks again for your input.

    On truck caps, a tilt in front window is very handy if only to clean the glass without having to lift the camper off the truck.
    On regular caps it is about a $200 to $300 option so the price seems ok.

    A fold down window is one of the things I really wish I had sprung for on my ARE shell. Cleaning the two pieces of glass is a PITA otherwise.

    lp,

    Did you go with a side slider window or a windoor ?

    I forgot to ask about the windoor option. I'll have to call and see if they offer that. Thanks!
