By off setting the door I achieved a few things.
For one you can mount a bike rack on the rear and still get into the camper.

I also split the interior. One side has the fridge, battery and storage, the other the stove, sink, water pump etc.
The heavy items are on the Passenger side to even the loads on the small trucks.

On the flatbed bed model we have an outside storage compartment.
This will also have assess to water and can be set up as an outside kitchen.
I am also playing with the fridge to slide out of the side as well, but not sure if i can pull it off structurally wise, since the opening has to be a bit larger.

Nice camper Marc. Would like to see pictures of interior.

Marc, do you have some good final weight estimates?

 

[Kodachrome]

If I were to design a pop-up for my specific needs and wants from the ground up, I would make the interior modular and user configurable. You don't see wood cabinets and marble countertops in the space shuttle or the ISS for a reason, it is a professional living and work space. These campers are used for recreation by most people but for some of us, they are for professional use in the field as in my case.

If I could re-arrange and swap out components on the fly and access nearly everything in the camper with a lot more ease, that would be incredible for what I use my current set up for. It could still have some comfortable appointments and accents, but be far more functional than they are now with a minimum of engineering.

I assume sleeping is front/back? Are you doing a pullout or a REALLY long cabover?

Cool product offering. Good call on making the base design for either a slide in or flatbed.

Mark and I actually researched this quite extensively last year. There's one big problem that's a deal breaker though. IMO a full featured camper can be defined at a minimum as "warm shelter" which means a furnace is a requirement, or at least an option. You can't have a modular furnace setup because it is not legal to put propane hose quick connects in a camper. No heat and it's just too niche a product to invest a lot of time and money developing.

Looks awesome. When are we going to see a prototype?

It is partly modular and there is NO wood!! Period..
There is also no marble in any of my products... Kinda heavy..
Also no staples...
As DD said, you need a heater...

The bed is up against the ceiling...
You lower it when you need it

Gotta keep some secrets

 

[Kodachrome]

Makes sense on the heater, but that can be designed around as I am sure you have figured out. I look forward to seeing what you come up with. I think I am set for now, but in 5-10 years, I might have the money to change my rig a bit.

I'll be watching...

Roger, assuming a little clearance for bedding that is nice not to have to break down your bed each night. How long are you planning to make the cabover/how much intrusion into the camper is the bed when it is down?

About 70 inches.

So you have about 12 inches into the cabin.

 

[Nimbl Vehicles]

Marc, do you have some good final weight estimates?


The Shell is about 375 lbs.

I estimate the fully loaded camper WITH 25 Gallons of water will be around 900 lbs.
Depends on the beer load

Nice number for the inside, it'll be interesting to see how that fits on a shorter cab truck though as that seems like long overhang. Always a trade off trying to cram things into a small design space.

On the 2nd gen taco the measurement is 80" from inside the bed to the windshield wipers.

But I can make all XPV2's to pretty much any size.
