It seems like wind load is the only major con for hard-sided that people have found (other than weight). Is that right? It seems like weight could be taken care of with a bigger truck (350-450 or equivalent).
As for lowing the height of a TC box, that sounds good in theory if you're a shorter...
For me, an overlanding rig is about getting to interesting places and away from RV parks/highways. I want to be comfortable while I'm getting there, but I don't need a rolling palace with McMansion-level finishes. If I had $700,000, I would probably get a land yacht instead of an EarthRoamer and...
FWIW, AT overland says you can get up to 315 Ah of lithium (website is now updated with that info), and they can add an inverter if you want one. I suppose they could mount the lagun table on the other side for better toilet access, but I forgot to ask. I wish they would update the video on...
@Victorian Where do you list the rectangular boxes (no cabover) you sell for box trucks? Curious about sizes, prices, etc., but I only see the ones for pickups on the website. (I could be blind.)
I assume you need to take down the table before driving, or is it anchored somehow? Also, how big is the fridge, how much solar, is there a fresh water tank, and what’s the total length?
I think new Sprinters will be discontinuing 4WD soon (next year?). That seems relevant.
Also, what would people recommend for a muliti-year international trip in Africa and Asia (my plans eventually)? It seems like a truck camper would trump a van in that situation, or really any extended...
How about the slide-outs? While these are great for extra space, I don't think I've ever seen them on commercial "overlanding" truck campers (e.g. OEV, AT Overland, even EarthRoamer). Presumably this is because they can be unreliable on extended overlanding trips, or they're perceived to be? I'm...
How do you like the soft-sided containers instead of real drawers? Seems like they would be kind of a pita, especially having to remove, replace, and keep track of all those stoppers that keep them from sliding out.

I mean, only 118 gallons of water and 1,820 watts of solar. Oh, and two queen beds and a double bed.
