The interior has worked out pretty well Scoutman. I haven't really made any major changes since the updated pictures this summer. The gas struts are amazing, although when the temps drop down near 0, they get pretty sticky and don't seem to aid very much. The aluminess bumper was worth every penny. After living with this setup over the last couple years now, I'm very satisfied. Like any vehicle/camper combo, there are compromises. What I like least about the rig is keeping 17k worth of mountain bikes on a rack off the rear porch. Next vehicle setup will definitely have a secure gear garage. The pop top does okay for winter camping, but dealing with the condensation, especially when the thermometer drops into the single digits gets kind of old. Next setup will be hardsided/fully insulated. I knew that going in, and these are very minor gripes.
If I got the chance to reorder the shell from the factory again, I'd only make a few changes. I'd add the built-in stovetop (solely for the convenience of easy water heating for showers/morning coffee). I'd probably seriously consider adding the front dinette as well. Using the existing ledges as seating isn't terrible, but it's not somewhere you'd want to hang out for multiple hours. I might re-arrange my modular cabinet setup and put in a dinette of some kind. I'd also add a second roof vent over the sleeping area.
Now the things I'm still 100% in love with: Modular water system. The scepter cans work great, and the little 12v pump mod is really handy. Love the camp chef stove with the sherpa table combo. Combined with my portable chuck box setup and stout travelchair grand canyon camp table, I have plenty of space to prepare meals.
My biggest advice if you go with a shell, is don't build anything permanent until you've spent 14 nights or so in it. Seeing how you shuffle your gear, where you like to hang out, how you access your fridge, etc. will be invaluable when you start building your cabinets and storage. If you ever have any questions, feel free to message me.
Please disregard the dirty truck. Bumper weighed 15lbs heavier than stock bumper it replaced, and beyond the protection and added functionality (somewhere to stuff the winch), I think it makes the truck look quite a bit better too.
