mounting a slide in camper to a flatbed cabover...how?

[Jfet]

I am excited by this picture of forum member Jeffrey and his FE with a slide in camper mounted to the flatbed:

My question is, how does he access the engine? Is it relatively simple to remove the camper or tilt it up enough to flip the cab? How often would one need to get at the engine...would this get old in a hurry? I am considering a used 2004 Fuso FE with 18 foot flatbed (18,000 GVWR) with I think a 175hp inline 6 diesel and low miles. I would maybe go with the S&S camper that Jeffrey did and leave the additional flatbed room as an outdoor garage for our dual sport motorcycles.

Any tips?

edit: actually it looks like they used a 4 cylinder with 175hp/347ft-lb in 2004, which is just fine http://www.mitfuso.com/Content/Documents/pdf/Archive/SpecSheets04/FH_SpecSheet_2004.pdf

the camper jacks are still on so he might just unbolt it and jack it up. is that a slide in? highdesertranger

Yup, just jack it up a couple of inches, pull the Fuso forward a few feet and yer tilting. Our Fuso FG 4x4 at work has 95,000 on it, 93,000+/- of which are OFFROAD miles, with multiple dumba$$ drivers pounding it HARD. It's first failure occurred last week when they got it stuck in deep snow with a 30' trailer behind it and snapped a unjoint in the front driveshaft. With reliability like that, I don't think you'll be tilting the cab very often.
