I thought about the see through issue but the location that is most important is right at the bend above the tailgate. I'm pretty good with just side mirrors but might like that rear viability of tailgaters. I might have to think about that some more.

Side cargo windows also would be nice. I found a dealer on ebay that makes custom picture windows for campers. I figure at least one from the cab to see back and then maybe a couple small side ones.

Hopefully it can be light enough so I can disconnect and lift it off with two people. I would say 95 percent of the time I can get away with a roof rack and storing gear underneath. I was thinking a hitch rack for bike transport would take the place of bikes in the bed. I think that'd be more aero.

I think the hardest part is lining up the aerocap with the back of the cab. The Tacoma has quite the contour on the sides and back. However, i want to keep this simple without any complex curves.
