I've got a Mav on order. Time will tell if it gets built.
I'm retiring soon and would love to put a small camper of some sort on the Mav.
I have an older Sun Lite cabover for my F-150 that I've used in the past but it's 7 feet long in the bed. I'm pretty handy so I was thinking of cutting this down to fit in the bed of the Maverick.
The weight distribution should be alright as most of the weight will be forward of the rear wheels and it's a very light weight unit to begin with. 900 lbs from the factory so once I shorten it up, I figure it should be around 750 to 800 lbs. Well within spec. The camper is 72 inches wide so I know I'll take a bit of a hit on mileage but I'm old. I don't drive much above 65 anyways. Being a pop up, the center of gravity is very low as well.
So is this workable on the hybrid and what would be the downside?
