Cool!
Will you still have room for the car?

My floorplan is to make everything fold up and utilize 100% of floor space as I want to be able to haul max cargo loads also.

I've often thought of doing that.

Could we trouble you for some interior shots as you progress?

Ok Jim (and anyone else who cares)
Here's My interior pics:
From the front of the trailer looking out the ramp door.

The walls are plywood with 1" foamboard insulation behind them.

Looking forward. Got the ceiling insulated with 2" foam board finished w/poly laminate osb board. A/C looks right in place with the ceiling. I had the local trailer shop bend the aluminum treadplate so I could mount my lights, speakers and hide all of my wiring (its a beast trying to hide wiring when you only have 1" wall thickness and 2" ceiling depth and a steel ladder construction.)

This is my power point. I've got 30amp 115V camper service with a removable cord that plugs into the exterior receptacle. Next to it is the Marine optima sealed battery (so no exterior venting is needed). The CD player is also mounted to the bottom of the shelf. I'm planning on building a cabinet to cover this and then installing some nice cabinets & folding worktable on the front.

The budget went well over what I expected so I'm halting construction for a little while and enjoy the thing.

Constructive opinions always welcome!

A friend of mine has done something similar to his. Has all the guts out of a large cabover camper too: range, toilet/shower, fridge, and sink. Makes it a little more comfortable and was cheaper to outfit.

Yeah,
I was gonna gut a pickup bed camper also. I guess I'm too picky and didn't like the appearance of the goodies from the camper(it was a 1973) so I went simple and will probably do some more next year.
