<p>I can climb over the tailgate, but I feel it draws attention. Also, there's no opening window on the shell between the truck cab and the shell. <br>I think for the back end, maybe drop the tailgate, remove the back shell window and build out a "wall" with a door. It could be made to look nice, paint it to match. With the added space of keeping the tailgate, you could add some light weight storage there too. And as far as the access between the truck cab and the shell, the shell window comes out from the inside, so I wouldn't have to remove the shell to get at it. Plywood maybe, with plexi slider? Or just say to heck with it and get a truck camper. What I like about the shell though is how light it is. And the stealth factor.</p><p> </p>
