Wow. Thanks very much for the pictures. Please do more as the project proceeds.

We don't get 1114s in the US--or any any European cabover--but I did try for the longest time to try to design a camper around a single-axle Freightliner Argosy. I wasn't competent enough to do it, but it is, of course, a fine idea. For anyone interested, there's a good (though probably overly-long) video Unicat promotional video showing the big trucks running around the dunes here:

and if you've never seen Unicat's Volvo cabover, especially the interior, you'll want to look here (click on the "see more pictures" link under the initial picture):

Very nice. The 4x4 conversion should be very interesting. Why does the toilet stick thru the wall?

hi kerry
I use the the shortest flush toilet that I can buy in the market, I make the stainless steel water tank for toilet,It can be hidden inside the interlayer,also can let the bathroom more space:victory:
