The 23Zero Armadillo A2 is a premium rooftop tent with features that augment the camping experience. With its durable aluminum hard-shell enclosure, it can withstand heavy weather and brush off low hanging branches with ease. The A2 is intended for 2, but could easily fit the additional dog or child. Its compact size makes it easy to deploy and it’s middle-weight heft has little effect on off-road handling.
23Zero offers the A2 in right and left side deployment and the trail-hardened finish of the fully welded aluminum shell offers great protection from weather and road grime. After several nights in the A2, I can appreciate 23Zero’s Light Suppression Technology fabric, making the RTT nearly opaque and allowing me to regulate light with either side window or the skylight in the roof of the tent. The fabric is made with a UV treatment with an advanced polyurethane coating that offers darkness until you decide it’s time to get up. The effect is wonderful and I’ve had some very long, deep sleeps in this comfy cocoon.
The mattress has a premium feel, wrapped in a quilted breathable topper in a nice olive color. The quilted cover continues up and under the aluminum shell, acting as a very comforting and warm headliner. The 2” memory foam mattress is comfortable, but some might wish for a little cushier, especially side sleepers.
Deploying is easy and quick, requiring only a few minutes for a complete setup. The spring rods are sturdy and they hold up nicely in strong winds. The interior boasts several pockets for small items and an LED light bar (rechargeable battery required).
Outside, the rainfly does a fantastic job of keeping out the drips, and it certainly boosts the interior warmth on chilly nights. There are also some ingenious little storage pouches that hang off each side of the ladder for wet shoes and the like. While 23Zero says you can keep bedding in the closed RTT, I found I could only fit a light blanket and small pillows kept me from closing the lid.
The Armadillo A2 is a quality product and the construction reflects 23Zero’s commitment to durability. At approximately 195 lbs., it has little to no effect on the road manners of my stock Tacoma. I lost a couple of mpg’s, but that’s to be expected with the weight of the RTT and bed rack combined. It sits atop the sturdy new Kuat Ibex bed rack, which offers the option to ride mid-height for better aerodynamics and lower center of gravity. I’m running it in the high position and it still behaves nicely off-road. I also prefer to retain my view out the rear view mirror.
The Armadillo A2 retails for $3795 and the build quality reflects the premium price tag. If you have the opportunity to visit any of the overland expos, I suggest taking a firsthand look at the A2 and its competitors before committing to a purchase.
I’ve had the opportunity to sleep in the A2 comfortably in heavy rain, strong winds, and chilly nights. It has made my outside adventures far more comfortable and leaving me wanting more. I look forward to experiencing a Winter night in the Armadillo A2 to see if it meets the high expectations generated by 23Zero’s design. I’m confident it will perform as expected.

Bill is a native Californian and has been shooting outdoor activities for over 30 years. Spending most weekends climbing in Joshua Tree in the 80’s, he began his photo career shooting the classic environment that only J-Tree has to offer. Expanding his subject matter into skiing and mountain biking, the camera was brought on most every adventure. Bill and his dog, Leica, now live in Southwest Colorado to take advantage of the epic outdoor adventures… on two wheels or four.
For many of us engineering has been a fascination since we were young, and the Kuat Ibex Bed Rack allows us to connect with that aspect of our interests. I may be giving away my age here, but many of us built models, spent hours with erector sets, and let our imaginations run wild with Legos and the like. It inspired problem solving and the interest matured with each digit added on our birthdays. Fast forward many years and we’re building homes, trucks, and motorcycles, solving problems that rise from those projects.
With the growth of vehicle supported adventuring, some very creative minds have been busy solving the problem of how to maximize our gear space in style. I’ve been a passionate cyclist and outdoorsman for decades and Kuat has always had a reputation for designing functional, durable, and beautiful bicycle racks. Well, now they’ve dipped their toes into the overlanding waters with the new Ibex truck bed rack and they have lived up to their reputation with this unique and modern design.
Kuat offers the Ibex bed rack in 7 sizes from mid-size truck beds to full-size long beds, as well as the Jeep Gladiator. With its substantial aluminum structure, the Ibex offers a very impressive 1,200 pounds static weight, 600 pounds dynamic weight, and 300 pounds off-road. I’m running a stock Tacoma with 31’s and a 195 pound RTT and the Ibex has been sturdy on and off the highway. With very little flex, the Ibex offers confidence and stability we all need from our rigs. The Ibex can be set up to cab-height or mid-height by removing the center struts between the upper and lower frame elements. I opted for the full height, leaving more space for cargo under the RTT and keeping a clear view out the back window, but the lower setting is a good option to lower the center of gravity and for better aerodynamics on the highway. The curved edges and very refined look separate the Kuat Ibex Bed Rack from other industrial-style racks, and the ballistic black powder coat will augment the appearance of any rig.
The Ibex shipped from Kuat in very protective packaging with not a scratch on the products. Even the design of the packaging reflected the design cues Kuat is known for. The first thing you see when you open the box is a QR code for instructions and it takes you right to some comprehensive videos to guide you through the process. Specialty tools are provided along with all the necessary hardware, although the tools seem rather delicate and a few t-nuts wanted to cross-thread. Once assembled, be sure to have another person around to help you lift it on the truck bed. At approximately 80 lbs, it could be a handful getting it up there. Saying that, the heft offers some serious muscle when it comes to loading it up with gear, and Kuat backs up their design with a No Worries Limited Warranty.
Kuat knows their market and offers an array of options for the Ibex. Full and half Molle panels that are compatible with products from DMOS Shovels,Rotopax and Maxtrax, a bottle opener, a grab handle, an antenna mount, an ax/shovel holder, an additional cross-bar, a Hi-Lift jack mount, and an adjustable height cross-bar kit. Kuat took their successful bike rack design and applied it to the Piston SRmount, which sits alongside the bed rack. With its CNC’d mounts and heavy duty hardware, the Piston SR holds today’s valuable bikes with security and protection. It even has an integrated lock that stows away when not in use, and the Kashima coated pistons are enough to make any bike geek swoon. Just be careful of RTT clearance with a bike on the rack. I found it necessary to remove my IBIS bike before deploying my 23Zero Armadillo A2clamshell RTT but wedge style tents should clear it.
After installing the Ibex frame, my imagination ran away with aftermarket ideas. Looking at the empty frame, the first thing I thought of was a soft canvas shell to stretch over the frame (think Softopper). The option to mount Rotopax, etc. could remain on the inside of the cover but the canvas would keep the contents of the bed out of the sun. Perhaps a screen rear door so the dogs could safely have a good time on the trail. Then I installed the Molle panels and thought of a matching hinged Molle panel as a rear lift gate would be an incredible addition. Again, dogs would be safe and happy romping around the bed, and it could lock to protect the contents of the bed. Perhaps a stamped aluminum ‘roof’ to top it all off.
Bravo, Kuat, for another product of brilliant design. I have had several people comment about the system while on the road and it certainly turns heads at the trailhead. If you plan to add a RTT in the high position, you might look into some bed struts to support the weight a little better. There’s very little flex in the truck bed, but it could add up with off-road miles. One thing I like about the Kuat Ibex Bed Rack is it allows me to still use my truck as a truck.
The Ibex is relatively easy to assemble, offers tons of versatility, and it is strong as an ox. Now, about that canvas…

Midland Radio’s new Ride the Range Line of GMRS antennas take adventure and connection to new levels. Whether it’s hitting the Rubicon Trail, the Mojave Road, Black Bear Pass, or the Ocala National Forest, reliable communication is a must as it is pivotal in ensuring safe and meaningful excursions.
Finding the perfect antenna for a two-way radio communication set up is key to expanding range and clarity. By finding an antenna fit for the adventure’s environment, radio range will improve exponentially, and clarity will be unprecedented. A smaller dB casts a taller signal so it’s ideal for areas with a lot of obstructions like dense forests, mountains, and cities. A medium dB strengthens communication in areas with some obstructions like hills and scattered trees. A higher dB casts a longer signal, better fit for areas with minimal obstructions like wide open plains or highways.
Midland’s MicroMobile® MXAT01VP 7.5 dB Gain Grand Vista™ Fiberglass Antenna System is built to pack a punch along an adventurer’s travels. Coming in at 50 inches in height, the Grand Vista is compatible with an NMO-style mount that allows for use of an existing CB cable on a half inch hole. This antenna will help overlanders and off-roaders usher in updated two-way radio technology with GMRS.
The MicroMobile® MXAT03 3dB Gain Canyon Edge™ Bullbar Antenna is 28 inches tall and mounts on a half inch hole. It’s built with durable fiberglass that’ll let adventurers tackle the toughest trails. Adventurers can easily install this antenna on their bullbar for the roughest of environments, ensuring unbeatable communication power that doesn’t snap when encountering challenging terrain.
Third in the new lineup of new antennas is the MicroMobile® MXAT04VP 6.6 dB Gain Highland™ Tall Heavy-Duty Bullbar Antenna System. 47.5 inches tall, the Highland Tall antenna system comes with everything explorers need to ensure an easy and quick installation like the 19.5 ft. COAX cable and interchangeable stainless steel spring mounting base. The MXAT04’s durable fiberglass is strong enough for any adventure, anywhere.
Last, but certainly not least is Midland’s MicroMobile® MXAT05VP 3dB Gain Highland™ Heavy-Duty Bullbar Antenna. Like the others, the Highland mounts on a ½ inch hole. 28.5 inches tall, this antenna value pack includes a 19.5 ft. COAX cable and interchangeable stainless steel spring mounting base. The MXAT05VP is designed to transform communication in the most remote, off-grid locations, allowing users to count on improved safety and connection.
The “Behind The Wheel” series is an up close and personal look at brands and their owners who are an authentic and passionate part of the exciting world of Overlanding. Today we’re sitting down with Aimee Higgins, Co-Founder of Tern Overland.
Aimee, great to chat with you and thanks for taking the time. Tell us a little about your background and how you came to be the Co-Founder of Tern Overland?
Thanks for talking to me, Andy! The travel bug found me as a kid. Growing up in the Western US we camped our way through the states. My three sons were raised in the same way on the East coast with trips out West to satisfy the need to explore and learn. We are all global explorers now and love to experience nature and the culture of new countries.
David and I crossed paths in 2016 and by 2017 we had launched an idea to build and design campers and Tern Overland was born. We came across a fabulous window that was new to the North American market and jumped at the opportunity to bring it here for the overlanding market. We created the business from scratch by ourselves. We hired our first employees in 2019. We’ve had phenomenal grass roots growth in the last six years. Our manufacturer is awesome to work with and is a reliable, trustworthy partner.
After the successful design, prototype and launch of David’s camper in 2021 we sold the camper division in 2022 to AT Overland in Prescott and they are now manufacturing and upfitting the fantastic Aterra campers in addition to their topper line. The window and component side of Tern is still flourishing with over 100 builders and two distributors in North America and a new builder in South Africa. At the end of 2022 David transferred his shares over to me and I became the CEO and he retired to pursue other interests.
Many people reading this may never have heard of Tern Overland, but may well be using your products. So, let’s dive into Tern Overland and can you give us an overview of the products you offer.
Basically, if you have a hole in your rig, we can fill it with a component. Windows, entry doors, cargo access doors, roof hatches, water, and electrical ports.
Our primary and most popular product are the double pane acrylic windows in eleven sizes with a blind and screen included. Normally provided with a white blind, it now comes with an optional black frame and black interior shade.
The roof hatch is a nice star gazing portal over the bed, drone launching from the roof, for sunlight or LED task lighting over the table. One size, 20×28, offered in electric and electric deluxe. Deluxe comes with a remote and rain sensor.
The entry door line is continually expanding with two main styles – Euro style and the Wildlands door and now a new Adventure door for teardrop trailers. Our doors range in size from a full 72” down to 36”. If a builder needs an odd, custom size, we can do that too with minimum order quantities.
We stock a range of cargo doors, and they can be built to any size from as little as 12×12 to as big as 60×60. Various options from gas struts to hinge location are available. These cargo doors are strong and dust proof.
Our other components are AirFlo which is an incredible textile bought by the yard or as a Queen size pad allowing air flow under mattresses, seat covers and pet beds. It is also excellent as a rattle dampener in drawers and toolboxes. We also have bulk water fillers and a European style electrical port.
The windows, roof hatches and doors are the products we import and distribute. We have recently become dealers for Taruca – Australian Buchwakka brand awnings and Dobinsons Australian suspension. Dobinsons also carries a nice line of fridges and recovery gear.
Tell us how you distribute your products and can the consumer purchase directly from you or are you simply direct to brands within the industry?
We work with both wholesale and retail DIY builders to supply the products they need for their camper, trailer, big box truck, van, bus, or tiny home. Customers call us directly or contact us via email. We are excited about our new website which has an e-commerce Shop function. We are also rolling out a wholesale builder portal so our builders can order directly with their builder pricing. We may also add a finance function. For large stocking orders it is best for wholesale builders to reach out to us directly so we can customize orders, arrange freight, or schedule a direct container. Many of our wholesale or retail customers contact our distributors directly as well. Expedition Upfitters in BC or Perfect Fit/CamperVan-HQin Portland, OR. They both carry extensive products.
Tell us about some of the high-profile brands in the Overland world you’re working with.
We work with 100+ excellent, large, small, and well-respected brands covering every vehicle build option. It’s important to us that our builders and their customers have a high-quality experience with us and our products!
One of our largest partners is AT Overland. A well-respected leader in the industry for over 20 years. Storyteller Overland is a newer partner who traditionally manufactures awesome vans and is launching their Adventure Truck featuring seven of our windows. Kimbo Living was our first wholesale partner in 2018 designing their prototype and is now one of our top partners. Bean Trailer has been fun to work with through the years. AntiShanty has an innovative and forward-thinking team. AeonRV has an entire kit they order with an entry door, windows, roof hatch and custom cargo doors and AirFlo. ToroBravo4x4 has a new concept they are launching this year. TetonX Trailers, Globe Trekker, Cedar Ridge Campers, Boreas Campers, Oregon Trail’rs, Port Lite Campers, Benchmark, Freedom Van Go, and the list could go on. A full list is on our Partner page of the website.
Everyone always thinks that successful businesses and founders have it easy! We both know that’s simply not true. What’s been the greatest challenge over the years for you?
Hopefully you didn’t expect me to say Covid. Those were gangbuster years for us because everyone was hitting the road for fresh air or working remotely and needed a rig. Managing the speed of our growth has probably been our greatest challenge. Too big too fast or not fast enough is a delicate balance. Building relationships by staying connected to our partners and understanding what they need to be successful has been our compass heading.
Where do you see Tern Overland in 3 years? Any plans to enter the world of complete rig builds yourselves?
Moving forward, our focus will remain on building relationships with wholesale builders. With our new webstore we are poised to increase our retail market. We are exploring establishing a line of products to retrofit into mainstream RVs. Tern’s systems and workflows are becoming more streamlined, allowing us to scale in the future. Since we do a lot with a small team, we are flexible as the industry or market shifts.
Hard pass on building our own rigs. The market is full of innovative engineers, and we will let them lead that space. I’m happy to support the creative builders we work with and stick with what we know is an awesome product line.
Okay, Aimee, what rig do you personally drive and any favorite trip you’ve taken?
AT Overland modified my 2022 RAM 2500 6.4l V8 Hemi with AEV suspension, bumpers, winch, and a lift kit, and added an Aluma lite flatbed designed to hold an Aterra camper. It is a sweet ride and will be showcased at our events next year.
Otherwise, David built an incredible trailer for me before he retired. I could be off grid for weeks and the unit is fully loaded with our products and conveniences. I tow it with either my 2007 Lexus GX470 that I bought from Scott Brady (featured in Overland Journal Spring 2021) that is heavily modified or with a 2008 4×4 Suburban. It acts as a base camp for me to hike or SUP from.
My favorite recent trip was a 12 Expo solo tour I took last year as the Chief Operating Officer. It wasn’t overlanding per se, but I was fully immersed in the industry and camped along the way in the Lexus. I traveled Back to Baja with Flarespace and the Storyteller community. I went to BC for the BC Overland Rally. I met my oldest son for a weekend on the Olympic Peninsula where we hiked, and he taught me how to fly fish in between NWOR and PNW Expo. I also hung out with my middle son in Colorado for a weekend and we hammock camped at 10k feet. Catching up with my youngest son and his fiancé on the east coast was a bonus in between the MidAtlantic Overland Show and the Storyteller Overland Open House. It was tough traveling and running a business from the road but making so many connections and seeing family along the way was worth it!
I love being part of this industry and watching it evolve. Our customers are great to work with and we genuinely enjoy what we do. Thank you, Andy, for all that you and your team do at The Adventure Portal to educate and support the industry. I appreciate being able to work with you and tell our story. If I may close by calling out one of my favorite marketing pieces that Tern Overland did which had a photograph my son took of a brilliant night sky and it said, “Sleep soundly knowing your components are capable of the journey”.
Not long ago, Elisabeth Brentano never dreamed that she would find her greatest joy just being in nature and living out of her Project M camper. After all, she was barely 30 by the time she began reaping the rewards of her hard-won Hollywood career. It had all the glitz and glam many people want, but few achieve. And then, all it took was one bad breakup and a hot summer in the Southwest for her to discover that her greatest passion is exploring and protecting public lands. That unfamiliar path led her to a whole new way of making a positive impact on the world, and she hasn’t looked back since.
It was the last thing anyone expected from her
Gifted with a knack for written and visual storytelling, the Hollywood producer was rising on the career path she had envisioned since college. But once she got her foot in the door, “It was like the movie The Devil Wears Prada,” she recalls. “After I asked for a raise, I remember being told ‘We can find someone to do this job for free.’ It was not a positive environment.” Despite depressingly low pay, and the lack of respect by male colleagues, she forged ahead in the toxic work environment for another year before making the transition to producing digital content for a top celebrity news website. But when her partner blindsided her with a sudden breakup, that dream life disintegrated. Without warning she was suddenly solo, and says she was unsure of who she was or where she was headed. “I kind of lost my identity. All I did was work and then I was with my boyfriend. Even though I was happy at the time, I didn’t realize how much of myself I had really lost.”
But instead of going deeper into heartache, she rebuilt her life in a totally new way by channeling her workaholic nature into a healthier, clean-living routine. And when an old friend invited her on a Thelma and Louise-style hiking trip into the Utah desert, she opted to push the limits of her comfort zone. Somewhere in Moab, the L.A. woman who had never been camping was instantly smitten by the restorative power of the natural world. “I feel like I discovered some part of myself that I didn’t know existed. This is really fired up a passion deep within me, and I thought “I should be doing more of this!” Later that summer she and other friends explored other Utah landmarks, like Lake Powell, Dead Horse Point and Zion National Park.
With encouragement from friends and colleagues who recognized her unique storytelling skills before she did, Elisabeth tried her luck at self-employment. She jumped into the world of destination storytelling. Instead of using her talents to share Hollywood gossip, she searched for natural places that begged for greater levels of stewardship. Then she found the tourism agencies that promoted those places, and explained how they could improve their existing campaigns. Tenacious cold calling along with captivating imagery and narratives led her to clients who are just as passionate about outdoor recreation education as she is. Her ideas took off, and today the state tourism offices in Idaho, Wyoming, Arizona and beyond are educating visitors with her visual and written storytelling skills. The former TV producer’s media prowess is helping big and small town agencies educate and protect public lands more effectively than ever before.
An Unconventional Workspace
In her early days as a travel producer, she traveled in a Jeep, but in 2020 she bought a Ford F-150 and spent a year in a Leer camper shell. The customized interior housed a sleeping platform and gear storage for her photography and newly acquired rock climbing habit. But as her impact on the outdoors community grew, so did her need for more comfortable accommodations. Elisabeth upgraded her expedition vehicle in 2022 when she partnered with Four Wheel Campers as a company ambassador. The company’s Project M truck topper seemed like an ideal setup for her new minimalist lifestyle. But before joining the Four Wheel Campers family, she needed to know that company leaders are just as committed to caring for the planet as she is.
She pitched them on a plan to host outdoor clean-up events by working with non-profit environmental groups, and instantly knew that she had found her community. “When I asked them, ‘So, what are you doing for the environment?’ instead of asking me ‘How much is that gonna cost?’ they said, ‘How fast can we do it?’” Their response made it a no-brainer decision to join forces for the benefit of public lands. Soon afterward she said goodbye to traditional housing, and hello to living and working from her customized Project M.
“Naturally, being able to access remote locations is key to my job, and I couldn’t be happier with my mobile home/office setup. I can be anywhere I need to be within a few days, and I have all the tools I need, so unless I’m flying for a gig, I never have to pack anything.” The topper is geared toward explorers who equally value simplicity and comfort in the backcountry and mounts to the bed rails of nearly every pickup truck make and model. Priced at just $10,995 MSRP, the lightweight pop-up comes straight from the Davis, California factory as a blank slate. Customers buy it with or without factory-installed options like two kinds of bedding, exterior LED lighting, gear tracks, awnings, and cutting-edge solar power station solutions. And unlike other Four Wheel Camper models, the Project M doesn’t force owners to give up their truck tailgate. They can enjoy a go-anywhere camper that can still be used as an everyday vehicle.
She has a ready-for-anything rig
“Having a fridge, sink, stove and memory foam bed means I have plenty of creature comforts, and even without sunshine, my power setup keeps me running for about a week.” Her setup includes a Renogy battery and solar panels to power her fridge, lights, fan and small USB devices. She also has a Goal Zero Yeti 1500x Portable Power Station for her sink and larger electronics. For backup power, she carries a smaller Yeti unit, the 400x. “With constant sunshine, I have unlimited power, so the only thing I need to re-up on is water, and since I have small tanks, I am fairly conservative with my usage.”
The combined setup lets her go further into the backcountry than ever before, which has deepened her passion to protect it. “This camper has allowed me to post up in some incredibly wild places over the years. From there, I have not only found a deep connection to the landscapes, but with the communities that protect and preserve our public lands.”
It’s been a year since Elisabeth helped Four Wheel Campers’ kick off the company’s volunteer events program. Today the brand and its enthusiastic customers are enjoying a higher level of environmental responsibility and positive impact. As a company ambassador, she organizes different events to clean up and maintain special places like Lake Tahoe, and the Bueno Aires National Wildlife Refuge in Southern Arizona. Volunteer Four Wheel Camper owners meet up and pitch in labor to tackle tasks like building fences, picking up trash, and making campground improvements. Of course there’s also plenty of great scenery, tasty food, and free beer that turn the hard work into a festive party. Every event is filled with new and old friends swapping stories about camping in their Four Wheel Campers rig.
Less is More with the Project M
With a new career, a passion for protecting public lands, and a minimalist evangelist, Elisabeth has never been happier. “In my opinion, learning to live with less is the first step towards a more sustainable (and thus environmentally-friendly) lifestyle. It prevents you from purchasing things you don’t need, and a small space doesn’t require as much energy, either.” As for her old Hollywood career, the very idea of going back it makes her laugh. “The subject matter used to be who Kim Kardashian was dating. Now it’s responsible recreation on Idaho’s hiking trails!” Helping tourism agencies stay one step ahead of visitation impacts is tough, but the flexible nature of her lifestyle and the Project M give her all the tools she needs to help keep special places as inspiring and untouched as possible.
If you’re looking for affordable, collapsible overhead van storage, look no further. For years, TOURIG has been making a complete line of window covers and storage solutions for camper vans. And this Spring they launched a new storage solution that’s unlike any others out there. These new soft cabinets are not just versatile and affordable – but compatible in almost any van! DIY’ers, Storyteller and Revel owners, and all other van owners: this is the perfect solution for you! For just $250 you can get a good looking, lightweight soft cabinet that provides the structure you need to hold anything from gear to clothes to non-perishables. The cabinet itself has left and right side front zippers that allow you to easily open the front panel to access the storage chamber, and side panels that provide structural integrity. The front panel also has magnets that allow you to keep the front panel closed even when it’s not zipped (allowing you to easily access storage contents without having to zip and unzip each time)..
When you need the overhead space and don’t need the storage, simply collapse the side panels and fold the back side flush against the wall of your van (secured with a snap) and voila! – your cabinet is stowed out of the way. (Revel owners: these work perfectly in the bunk area. You can raise the bed with these cabinets in use, which allows you to still access storage underneath the bed with these in place. Two cabinets fit side by side on both the passenger and driver side of the van.)
TOURIG makes two models of these cabinets: the Sprinter model has a slightly curved back panel that lays flush against the upper walls of the van, and the Universal model has a flat back and can be mounted to any flat surface – making it usable in just about any van.
Easily mount each cabinet to any wall of your van with just six screws (included) that fit in the three upper and three lower screw holes that are located on the wall-facing side of the cabinet (no L track needed!).
This is the perfect lightweight and functional upper cabinet for any van. For versatility, durability, construction, and price, you can’t find a better option for a storage cabinet out there.
Collapsible Overhead Van Storage Pros:
Fits any van with a flat surface
Collapsible design is easy to stowe against the wall (folds flat with a snap closure – to mount flush against wall)
