I've had my nest for about a year. Apparently it was a dealer installed extra on my 92 F150 longbed. It's a little mold stained and sticky, and the I just tore one of the closes-tent ceiling panels. Have not done a hose test yet (fingers crossed!)

I'm super excited to have found this forum! Within the first five minutes of lurking I saw that other people were dealing with the same issues I am, and were also contemplating wedge top modifications. I'm sure there are others like me that would sacrifice some of the roominess for speed and simplicity,as I tend spend a lot of time roadside or in test areas.

I was thinking about a pop top version, but cannibalizing a Wildwrnest feels wrong. Still, a pop top doesn't seem like it could be done fairly simply with Home Depot material. We'll see.

I am trying to do a little shake down run in the next week or so. That should be good for some photos and a lot of questions popping up. (No pun intended.)

So, hello new friends, and here's my first question: Is there a sticky of common issues and questions that I can review?

Thanks!

Welcome to the forum. Not a lot of discussion hear but still some good information. I am not aware of a sticky of common issues. Enjoy your Wildernest, I do.

I just moved to NorCal from TX. Where are you located? I'm in Santa Cruz. Any good tips/advice for a new transplant? Thanks
