Just forwarding this info from my salesman.
"Just took a look at the Nationwide Inventory for the various Ford Transit AWD models and some body styles look to be in short supply for being available on dealer lots.
The most ordered AWD Transit body style is the R2C (T-250 MR 148" WB AWD) with...
To @waveslider 's point, truck based campers have a harder time taking advantage of a pass through than for instance a E-series chassis because the roof and seat height are all lower on the truck creating a "crawl through" rather than a "pass through". Even Fuso chassis cant take advantage of a...

Does Planar not make a gasoline heater?
Also curious about the "T" extrusions question @Alloy asked.
Although it would likely be easy to just make them out of aluminum/composite angle.
I'm dreaming about a box too...

I'm doing some research... $40K for the 2020 AWD Transit chassis...$18K for the box...
Is that the only thing you got out of my post?
It says "maybe", you know, depending on design?
(I know that’s not where the axle is going)
Additionally with so much real estate below the frame rails why not saddle bag the box so it wraps around the frame and houses all of the cabin systems...
Since you aren't opposed to using 2x4's in the wall.... if you have a truss manufacturer near you you could use a "bonus room attic truss" style of construction.
Obviously you would have less angle of roof, more vertical sides. Flat roof or a slight curve or barrel. The floor can be webbed like...
For those living under a rock....
Covid-19 has shut down the Claycomo Ford Transit/F150 factory.
Covid-19 and tornado damage shut down the Borg Warner, AWD transfer case, factory.
Additionally Ford announced new rebates that include every model except AWD models leading to believe that model is...
I ran across this "marine style" stainless steel 4" vent, seems like a good output option with a range hood.

EDIT: 6" too, https://amzn.to/3aTMTbX
I think this is a great, safe approach to an entry level kit.
My concerns have been CV angles...
I applaud @Van Compass for sharing the thorough explanations, pics of the angles and taking on the custom made springs.
Exciting!
My typical assumption is that if some one takes the time ask questions and to say things like, "As a person that has done a similar project in Monstaliner "
or "What I see is hairline cracks" that they potentially have important data that they would like to share and learn from others.
There...
A steel truck bed isn't "this application" and besides, yes you will see cracks in Linex/montaliner products in a truck bed where panels are spot welded together at the seams and they flex independently. It matters very little in that application because you aren't exposing the interior of your...
