The Backpack
Pics from out on it's shake down trip. Sized and built for my ston but for this trip it got a ride in the big truck. Only lost 1.5mpg (2 week 5600 mile trip) due to aerodynamic shape and its light weight design. Up next is to work the bugs out of it, finish the insides correctly, roof rack and some more exterior mounting points, 3/4 wrap around awning and hopefully automate the roof over the winter.
Specs
1" fiberglass honeycomb panels wrapped in a 16g steel exoskeleton structure. Welding, 3m tape and 5200 sealant. 8 windows with multiple configurations, 2 stage lifting roof. Sleeps 3 and 4th on the floor with the roof raised. 200w solar system with 2000w inverter. 65q Edgestar fridge, Coleman 2 burner stove. porta potti. Sink and shower fed by 15g of water with electric tank-less water heater. All LED lighting inside.

The couch color gave it away, I remembered it from the manufacturer's website a while back.
Great unit should sell fast. Any suspension upgrades? Seems like the CofG is behind mid-truck.
Price in mind?
