was wondering if its only for commerical purchase or recoken it wouldn't be difficult to find one or a similar as for an flexible but sealed wall?

I'm just ask in curiousity of cube van/truck conversions and figuring if its possible to make a weatherproofed hole between the cab and cube box.

I could have figured welding but I'm not sure if thats a good idea at all seeing how the cab and box are not mounted together so I think there's always some flexing difference between the cab and box while driving..no? (and so I came up with this question about bellows from buses)

its just a paper concept so far but if it does seem possible then well...what the hell am I waiting for? there's a lot of low-priced used cube trucks and vans in this city! :p

Hello and welcome.

I doubt that it's necessary to have anything so industrial as a bellows to enclose a crawl-through. Pickup campers do this all the time, and the seal isn't much more complicated than a vinyl surround shaped like a slit-open bagel. I've also seen things that look like an inner tube that slip between the cab and the camper and then it gets inflated with air and seals against both surfaces.

There isn't so much movement that a full-on bellows would be needed. For a simple installation, a big truck inner tube cut open all around it's outer edge and riveted inside each enclosure could probably be enough.

tubes..hmm I never thought of it that way till you mentioned it now

some railroad light dmu's used air-filled tubes to seal the walkway between cars too.

thanks..I'll have to note this idea.... tubes seem pretty easy...could use standard riverts to hold it on or...whatever would work for where I need to attach it to.
