As I patiently wait for my Bobcat shell, I was wondering: has anyone come with a plan to keep the back door clean on dusty roads? Yes, one drawback of a slide in. I was toying with either 1) sewing Velcro on to a door size piece of material on the hinge side then tucking the other edges of the material in the door's remaining 3 sides as it is closed. That would mean gluing Velcro to the aluminum door surround on the one side. The material would have to be firm enough so it wouldn't beat itself to death. or 2) fastening awning rail track (?) beside the vertical door frames and sliding cord with material around it in the cavity then gluing Velcro top and bottom to seal it. Maybe carrying a big brush and washing it is just as easy - but a waste of water in a dry area I'm sure.
Also there has been a discussion about alternatives to or additions to the 4" sleeping foam. Both the Froli system and Thermarests were mentioned but how could these work with the limited height? I've heard that there isn't room for even a couple of extra blankets on top of the foam, let alone the additional 1 3/4" for the Froli. Our Theremarests are 2 " thick. Is there more height up there in the newer campers? Has anyone tried either system and how did it work out?
