Finally put a video together going thru the 1st prototype custom interior-camper sleeping-setup I've built. (Apologies for shakey cam near end!) === LOTS OF INFO: === Next version I make will be made of aluminum sheet instead of wood, to save weight. ~ But this version's built with marine plywood, deck screws, marine wood glue, penetrating epoxy, southco latches, stainless piano hinges, gas shocks, marine carpet & glue, & all trimmed with paracord. ~ Weighs in about 30lbs more than everything I removed from it, but more so with all the added gear. ~ I've used it extensively for an entire season now of camping & off roading. ~ Slept out of it for a week straight while wandering Michigan trails, just find a spot in public forest & setup in minutes! It's really badass having the self sufficiency, speed, & ease of camp setup/teardown by having it built in vs to a roof top tent (not to mention cheaper!). ~ Only complaint so far would be overall weight when loaded down with 3+ days worth of gear & supplies, but I have a plan for that. ~ Another big step will be adding auxiliary diesel/water/propane tanks under the chassis to extend my overall range. ~ Also I'm designing a house-battery & solar-charging system to give me more capability when I'm way off-grid.
