Do you have any more pics, specifically of the door in shut, in operation, etc?

Maybe this photo from the website would help...

That is clever how the solar and skylights share real estate. Thanks for the pic @rruff. I was just curious how the door looked from the inside.

The height of the camper itself is 7ft and the inside is essentially the same minus the thickness is 1.5" of insulation. The total height of the camper on that exact truck with tire, wheel, suspension is 11ft. Their shells are 30k built to your desired specs and include the windows, doors, fan ect.

Im sorry i don't understand what you are looking for image wise of the doors.

Sorry I wasn't more clear - just wanted to see what the door looked like closed on the inside and maybe even in operation (although I suppose that is more of a video than a pic...). Anyhow, thanks for the updates. That thing seems like a great camper. Appreciate all of the insights and photos.

It's cool, but the balcony/patio takes up a lot of interior wall space. Maybe if you just make a path wide enough to get out.

1800lbs seems pretty light compared to most shells that size. I'd have guessed 2000-2200.

That's for his interior build as well. What shells are you thinking of? IME <1,000 lbs is more typical for something that size, but not with a steel frame like this one.

I would love to know of a fiberglass camper around this size thats under a thousand pounds with r9 closed cell with some kind decent framing...

They don't have framing in the wall typically (steel framing will create a thermal bridge, which isn't good), but the TC campers come in around that. It isn't that tricky... the panels are around 1.5 lb/sq ft (~500-600 lbs for a camper this size), though their floor is heavier... then add the extrusions and reinforcements.
