Who demounts their demountable?

Designing from the ground up as a fixed body means water and other heavy stuff is all below the floor,not above it, so better stability and more living space is an obvious and instant result.

How does this work, peter? You have an insulated basement below the frame?

As someone in the planning stages of a truck mounted camper myself, I completely sympathize with "towing sucks."

We found that our travel style is very much "few days in a spot then move on" versus "stay a week and explore the area." Trailers are great for the latter but suck for the former. And I'm assuming the folks who think towing and hitching/unhitching are easy don't have anti-sway bars on their rig or never drive in windy conditions.

They both have tradeoffs, of course. It's less easy to be mobile with an attached camper. The traveling part will be, I'd imagine, much easier.

We don't but insulating tanks is not out of question, or make them from sandwich panel. Friend ran hot water pipes through his.

you’re in a year-round warm climate though, right?

is it safe to assume your tanks sit below the shell or frame rather than inside it?

More or less true... We have had pipes frozen, but not tanks of water........although there are large areas in winter where it could easily happen, they are not places where we usually spend lots of time.
Yes, the tanks are below the floor, which is where they need to be anyway for stability.
