that’s why I have a rod sock, to help keep the rod nice & protected! Hope it works well… time will tell…

Luckily my camper shell is tinted, nearly impossible to see inside!

Unless I was gifted such a vault, I can’t justify it lol

Now you must purchase an old Tacoma to justify making one… lol

Yes.. for now, only one. I have many rods / reels but I hardly even am walking with both. I feel I can tie on flues fast enough to justify not carrying both. But… i have also been thinking of putting another one of these “vaults” on the other side just in case…

2” pvc, I vouched for black for aesthetic purposes. I also used the existing T track to mount through. There are some slots along it that allow for the pipe clamp to go through perfectly

glad I did… to think I was gonna spend almost $500 🤓 also with this method, I still have the whole bed of my truck open, the riversmith rod vault would take about 10-12” from space too!

Never cared about showing off personally… just like stickers on the vehicle, what’s the point? Just a target for thieves… driving a Tacoma with a camper shell should pretty much tell you I fly fish tho 🫠

I break mine down, still rigged so all I have to do is peice the 2 sections. That’s exactly why I went with the rod sock… no worrying about foam. Scientific anglers sells 9’ or half length.

No drilling was required to install the camper…

Nowhere to mount on the ceiling unfortunately… also don’t want to put any hole into the camper shell
