You can't go wrong with Challenger doors, their doors are often used in mobile event and concession trailers as well.
Your off to a good start on the build.
Before you start working on the interior fit-out. Drive the truck in the heaviest rain storm you can. You shouldn't have any, but any...
I wouldn't worry too much about it. When mounting a body on the FG chassis, one has to raise the body up to the level of the stepped frame. This adds additional height to the body, something like 3"-4". If your plan is to still carry kayaks on the top, hoisting them up there will prove...
Putting up and taking down a tent in the rain is always problematic, especially one that is two piece with a separate rain fly. For quickly removing condensation moisture and mopping up puddles, you can't go wrong adding a couple of Sham Wow's to your kit.
Totally AWESOME!
I like the look!
What's the body size, 8'W x 8'T x 14'L?
How are you handling the rear door?
Can't go wrong with a Morgan cargo body, their very well built. There's a whole industry built around truck cargo body manufacture, use and repair. Don't let anybody tell you those...
It was the price that did me in. The demo unit was running $285K. At the time I looked, I couldn't get the price down to less than $150k and that was without the truck chassis, bed mattress, seat cushions, stove and the teak cabinet doors. I was told it takes 1000 hours to fit one out.
But they...
Good looking rigs, all of them.
Are the ATW Global Warriors even selling in the USA?
I toured the first one at Sportsmoble and was impressed. I only know of two having been build here.
Are you pulling the MPG numbers off the dash display or are these calculated based on miles traveled and gallons of fuel consumed?
You can recalibrate the dash display to match the MPG value you calculate if they don't match. Driving with the exhaust brake on will reduce your gas mileage as...
Your design looks good.
I've consider building one myself, but I keep going back to using Rubbermaid totes. Not all camping trips have perfect weather and the totes work for me under those situations.
You might watch some of Shug's videos on YouTube on hammock camping.

Not all hammocks are made the same. The Warbonnet Blackbird has what's called a foot box. It allows you to lay flatter in the hang.
What temperature do you plan to camp in. A pop up doesn't offer
much in the way of insulation.
Here is a great truck camper site; http://www.truckcampermagazine.com.
Be careful, you'll spend way to much time there.
Having fished at Bennett, I'd say there's no reason your wife couldn't...
