Out of all the things on here, this should be sold. My only curiosity is what directed you towards that flatbed over some of the other options out there.
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!
