    I would rather use snaps like a boat cover but I don't have the clearance for them where I want the canvas to attach. I'm hoping a good 3M velcro will be pretty strong.

    If you aren't planning on driving with it up, I would think the velcro would hold just fine.

    Got most of the bed stuff done! Going to add a few things like a slide-out table from under the bed but that will have to wait till next weekend.

    Well, I ended up Taking the elevated bed out and putting in another shelf same as the left side so I can sleep in the middle with lots of headroom.

    The middle part I sleep on will slide out to double as a table during the day or a leaf to turn the bed into a full elevated bed for 2 people.

    Also I'm going to make a small table piece big enough to eat on so I can have breakfast in bed if i want to :D

    I will grab some pictures tomorrow when I'm done so everything I just said makes sense.

    Would love to see an update with detailed picks of the front hinge mount /mods and the wratcheting lifts. This is exactly what I want to do except drivable.

    Been looking at doing something like this. I love mycover, but it's so inconvenient when I need to move anything.
