It bit of a crazy concept. But it actually works. Not a refined build, but it is good enough for Southern California.

Good thing you are little and traveling solo.

With the removal roof, why would you need the escape window?

Because it doubles as a gear loading hatch

Why not use aluminum 2x4 beams to make it a bit lighter? Gotta be a way to make that easier to lift onto the bed. All in all an awesome concept and I hope someone makes you a deal to sell it or mass produce it. Gook luck.

I wonder if there is a price estimate. Looks like a lot of the wood was left overs.

You have a sharp eye. Yes, I used as much scrap wood as possible. Hard cover and windows are the bulk of the price.

Oh for the younger years when I had the energy and wherewithall to do something like. You young guys just keep it up and us old folks will just suffer in our Class C 32' Motor Home. Great job and well thought out.

Pascal, that's a great build. I'm glad I watched the video; you've got some truly thoughtful design and great execution of the ideas here. I love how you repurposed the bed cover! The nesting/sliding bed frame is really nice. I wonder if you could have the slide-out portion full-width?

Nice but what would I do with my wife?

Did you think about using a split door on the back, so when the tail gate is up you could open 1/2 of the door?

Nicely designed though a crude build. I imagine a refined factory build out of fiberglass would be half the weight of all the wood you used. Patent and get a manufacturer. I think you could sell a lot of these keeping it basic. Well done.

Thanks!
As for the full length slide. I originally was thinking of a longer counter that would interfere with the left side. So I opted for a half slide. But, I am sure a full width slide would work fine too. You have to account for you full body weight though. This half slide will never hold more than half me body. So it is easier to design and build.

Mine has no desire to camp. haha
