I'm betting most of y'all have seen this. I just received mine and I ldig the heck out of it! I think its a rad idea and wanted to share it with those that aren't into Facebook. Super good communication and service from them, too. They also make neat speaker plates for the front doors, replacement baffles for round headlight grills, and a few other things Vanagon related. Great people! Check em out!

Too bad they are only on Facebook. Looks like they have some interesting stuff.

Neat! I quit Facebook earlier this year, so hadn't seen these. I did buy some of his speaker plates and they worked great! I finally have some decent sounding speakers that don't rattle due to door card mounting. Thanks for posting.

Yes, build a website to be more inclusive. Looks like some great products I never would have known about without this post. They could be losing business by using a proprietary media platform.
Facebook is a product, not a form of communication. I don't like being forced to use a product I'm not interested in.
Is there any way to see the prices of these products?

Thank you.
I have been watching the product progress and want to pick one up but i have to get the hatch repainted at some point and it would need to come off. |

Tell me more about the use of this product. I sleep head to the tailgate and am concerned that it would consume needed space thta keeps my feet from hanging off the bed.
Do you know what you'll keep in it? Bedding would be a possibility since it would not be there when sleeping.
Thanks.

It doesnt take any extra space. It's recessed in the door. Great way to add some storage. And if its filled with bedding it'll act as insulation for heat and sound!

I really like these. From what I've read on the Vanagon Owners Group, they're well-made. Unfortunately with my raised engine lid plus rear mattress, I don't think I'd be able to access the pockets easily from inside.

JoeT it zips down from the top.
Jimf this could provide more headroom if sleeping on your side.

Wow! That's the opposite of what I thought it was and is brilliant!
Thanks for the heads-up, OP.

Welcome! Excited to see your designs. You can speak to the site admins here about having a thread you can update with ongoing news, as other small businesses do.
Cheers!

Really cool idea! Great to see another specialized product out there, especially one that helps stow a few more items.
