I appreciate that! We're hoping someone snags it soon and loves it for the long run.
We chose the flatbed over some of the more "overland-y" options for 3.5 reasons: availability, price, the steel subframe, and the gooseneck provision.
Lead times on many of the popular overland beds were months at the time, and they were triple the price. We wanted to allocate more of our budget to the camper itself, so it worked out perfectly for us. We also like the additional strength and rigidity provided by the steel frame.
Mesa Overland was able to modify it to mount with an anti-torsion system like many of the higher-end beds. They also fabbed up the storage boxes with Arctic Tern hatches, which keep out the elements.
Half a bonus point for the gooseneck provision in case we need to tow when the camper is off!

Bathroom dimensions.
Cabover dimensions.
Main walk way lowest and highest headroom.
Thank you
Sure thing!
The bathroom is: ~ 25"W x 29"L x 83"H
The cabover (measured from the interior) is: ~ 80"L x 76"W (widest point, narrowest point with closet is 62") x 36"H (43" without mattress). The mattress is a true queen.
The walkway is 84.5"H In the dinette area is 71"H.
The lowest point in the camper is the doorway between the bathroom and the walkway. It is 69".
Measured from the exterior, it is 42.5". This leaves ~7.5" of clearance between the bottom of cabover and the top of the cab.
The camper was not weighed before mounting, but we estimate it to be close to the 4k payload of the truck when fully loaded (water, belongings, etc.)
