I am at the point where I need to decide how I'll finish the inside of my cabin. I've seen the nice overhead consoles (Aerosport, etc) but would be interested in opinions from those who have installed such things and those who haven't. I won't have air conditioning or OH DVDs (a pretty obvious reason to consider it). As I ponder it, here are the pros and cons:
Pros
1. Very nice looking, professional finish feature
2. Nice locations for overhead lighting, DVD players, etc.
3. Nice locations for overhead supplemental air vents.
4. Allows routing of whatever from tail cone to front overhead rather than subfloor. Now or in the future.
5. Allows installation of things in the future.
Cons:
1. Expensive to buy (or time consuming to build yourself)
2. Added weight
3. Wires for OH lighting can be routed under headliner (?), so not necessarily needed for that.
4. Added effort to install (how much, I don't know)
I would value thoughts from others. If I missed another thread on this topic, just let me know. I bought a 1995 Jimmy OH console like I saw in one post, but it is heavy, not long enough to go from front to back, and the fit would take some work (I don't like it). If I don't end up using it, I'd give it to someone for the cost of shipping. Cost me $30 plus shipping.
