Reasonable to add 1.5' of height?
Got this bad boy at a great deal on a relatively tight budget, so i have no regrets about the interior height (about 5') and it's too late to suggest getting a taller one in the first place.
But my question is this: would it be reasonable to detach the roof top extension, build up a simple vertical \~1.5' extension using the footprint-shape of where the topper meets the main van roof as my template? So my whole 6' can stand up straight even if I well-insulate the floor and roof, instead of said insulation making me hunch down from 9" to a whole 1' lean-over.
I can see how it may be worth doing something like leaving the bottom half of the very front and rear intact and in place and instead cut it at a bit of a diagonal in order to preserve the relative aerodynamics of it, but maybe someone has a better idea for me!
I'm also trying to set it up to support one of those low-clearance high-efficiency rooftop rv AC units and my 4 200W solar panels. So I think if I have to add exterior or interior support for those to not collectively sag the fiberglass I may as well get standing space out of it!
