@traidna did you use their Amber or gloss or satin?
Hi and Welcome!
It’s hard to answer your question exactly because the camper and galley hatch when open height all depends on the trailer you have chosen to use. I had something custom made so can’t help you out. Perhaps someone with the “standard” Trailex model can assist.

You’ll enjoy it. Last evening inside the camper we fit me and my wife and our two young boys to watch a movie in the backyard. I won’t say “plenty of room” but we fit! Why did you get rid of the Airstream? People are dying for those these days…but I tell you, every place I take the CLC teardrop I get tons of compliments and interest.

Hi BobC. Trying again…my last post didn’t “take.”
I recommend the Interlux Brightsides paint CLC sells. Definitely use the Pre-Kote primer underneath. I’ve used Brightsides white quite a bit and it looks great. And at 3 coats it’s pretty tough stuff. Again, don’t forget the primer!

Hi Brian,
I am 6′ 4″ 225# and it works okay for me. If you are comfortably contained within the dimensions of a queen-size mattress you’ll be okay. But all the same, it’s not at all a big camper. The way to look at it is that it’s a nice upgrade from a 2-3 person tent.
Let me know if you have other questions!

Hi, I’d be happy to help. Can you post any photos of the storage box? And by storage box do you meet the tongue box or the integrated cargo carrier (ICC)?

Thanks, @johannes, for the great explanation. Part of what I’m considering is a 180 or 270 awning — and we’re tall people. I’m 6’4″ and my wife is 6″. So I theoretically want some headroom under whatever awning I mount to the roof rack.
I have Thule square bars already from a previous application. So I don’t need the “R” version of the foot pack(s). So, I’m sort of deciding between 8″ and 11″.
By the way, the camper with ANY roof rack will not fit in my garage. So I’m looking at mounting this gear before a trip — or keeping the camper outside under some kind of cover.
Best,
John in Chicago
These horrible things. But incredibly adjustable. Still deciding:
I like where you’re headed – a bit beyond my engineering abilities i think!
@pandron – i actually have latches being delivered today to hold down the edges. Also not a fan, but at this point it’s just endless tweaking to get this sucker as water tight as possible.
Hi @pandron,
Honestly, I’ve just left it alone. I use that space for skis too.It might pick up some water, but if you have a tongue storage box in front of it there shouldn’t be much.
I’m more worried about the camper door and ICC side hatch doors. I just can’t get them water tight-ish.
@stretchmike is the Raptor liner a spray-on product only?
