So I'm going to be designing a custom camper for a flatbed. As mentioned over in my FWC for sale thread, I feel that a camper built for a flatbed solves a lot of problems with the traditional slide-in truck camper. My main goal is to maximize and optimize storage space, so that I can carry gear, wood, bikes, and whatever else I need for a week or two on the road without piling everything up right in the middle of the camper.
I have a lot of ideas but just drawing them on paper left me with a lot of doubts as to whether it would all work. So I decided to build a mockup and play around with some layouts. Advantage #1 to a flatbed camper - lots of floor space! Just over 50 square feet for a shortbed truck:
