Would you need to cut the aluminum side panel to make this fit?
Yes you need to cut a 3" hole plus 6 1/4" holes.
One other question. Does heat warm the tent if all the bed panels are in place?
I think the panels in place would keep most of the heat from passing through, and negate most of the reason for using a heater. I’ve been considering options on routing heat based on this post and the pics that were shared:
Update!
This is how I finally ran the duct to the tent.
When I finally camped in freezing weather I found that trying to heat the lower truck bed area was not practical because the bed was bare metal and became an ice box.
I shortened the duct to the tent and I was nice and toasty when I was in -8° weather
Duct in side the bed.
Duct in the tent. I used 3" PVC.

As mentioned by others you really want to duct up into the tent area if you have panels in. I ran with a panel out and was happy.
I might try removing a panel after I find a way to leave my wife at home. LOL
But, she is the one that picked out and MADE me buy the GFC.
After 40 years of marriage, I find my wife love primitive camping.
I don’t know if I could get the truck bed warm enough in my RAM1500.
No fancy buildout here.
Last week I had the truck bed full of mulch, peat moss and grass seed.
Hey Josh,
Just placed an order for the heater hose pass through. Much cleaner than the marine deck plate I was planning to install. Does the hose have to be installed onto the flange, or could you pass the hose all the way through and place the directional vent on inside? Thanks.

Hi Ryan it does need to be on the flange as the flange is indexed and attaches to the plate on the panel. If you needed an internal hose I could for sure add a flange onto the inner panel plate. Shoot me a DM if you want to do that.
Thanks Josh. That won’t be needed, I was just curious.
Hi there- I’m looking for a set of YakMounts but they’re no longer on your site. I hope that you are planning another batch? No hurry, my build won’t be done until around Christmas of 2024. Thanks!
Hey I am no longer making them. I have had some interest so will let you know if I do another run.
I have some yakmounts I got and never installed that I would sell to you. I’ve decided I’m going to eventually fabricate my own kayak stacker for the beef rack.
Sounds good, I will try and figure out how to send you a PM. Thanks,
Hey Josh. I used the heater pass through for the first time. Loved it! So much easier than running the hose up through a window. Definitely a good choice for anyone looking to heat the lower portion as well as their tent. I slept with the mattress in bunk mode (the two squares out and used as a separate bed below) and the whole camper stayed about 61° with the diesel heater set to 5.2.

Are you still willing to give out the 3d print files?
Hey @smcd355 The 3D printed version only worked for the V1 Campers. If you have a V1 by chance I’d be happy to pass it along.
Thanks for the quick response @jedgar, I dont have a V1 but would love to print it for a buddy who does
