cabover camper overhang question

[whatcharterboat]

Not too sure how robust this design would be on a 4x4 camper... but it is very impressive, none the less.

This would be the best design ever if you had mis behaved kids.......just push a button and peace and quiet......... wonder if I can install one of those in my house? Haha

I wonder if they can also use this as an elevator to get onto the roof...

Yeah, all interesting designs and very good if your camper is not removeable.

Since we have a perfectly good flatbed, it doesn't really make sense to go to a lot of trouble to make a permanent mount living area with a flip up attic rather than just design a sturdy lifting mechanism either to allow the truck to drive out or to allow the camper to be lifted above the swing radius of the truck cab.

As long as I have points on the camper that can handle the stress of lifting, I can build a mechanism to lift it (if the Attwood jacks are not up to the task)

Don't know if I really agree with that... Personally, I think this style of cab overhang would be simpler to do and that it would work very well for a removable camper body.
It would also give you a very good emergency egress point.
