Combine traveling in a van with having a great night's sleep! Introducing Backland Expedition Gear's latest innovation, theClimateCorePODS - meticulously designed to provide an outstandingR5 Insulation Value. Neglecting to insulate the area where you sleep simply doesn't make sense. It's not only about retaining warmth but also about shielding yourself from the scorching heat of the sun. Don't miss out on this opportunity to elevate your van life experience to a whole new level of coziness and climate control.
Sprinters are measuring 72” window to window and most adults need a few more inches to be able to sleep comfortably. Our fibreglass Pods are a pair of window extensions installed on the rear quarter panels of a Sprinter van, increasing its width. Backland Expedition Gear's insulated Regular Depth Pods will make it possible to build a 76” long bed and at the same time maximize your interior camper space.
The 144 Regular Depth Pod set will give you a 76” (193cm) long bed. Both driver and passenger’s side pods are regular depth. They offer cutout and window installation for additional cost. They do not recommend the use of an awning style window on the passenger side of the 144 wheelbase pod.
There is a space of 3/4” (20mm) between the sliding door and the passenger's side Pod to make sure the door will slide freely with snow or ice build up. The exterior surface must be protected from UV rays with bed liner, paint or a vinyl wrap.
The flat exterior surface makes it possible to use windows up to 46” x 20” (116x50cm). The window cutout can be done using a jigsaw and a fine tooth blade.
The specifically formulated gel coat is use as a sanding substrate for automotive parts that will be subsequently painted.
As this is a customizable item, production timeline is generally 2 weeks.
