I really like the look of the shell.
The option of raising it makes it much more complex. Where I camp we sometimes get strong winds and afternoon thundershowers. I wonder how sturdy or weathertight it will be when it is raised. So I have to ask... wouldn't it be easier to set up a screen tent attached to the back of the shell to stand up in and keep the shell lowered for sleeping? Some European tourists have small camper trailers that are basically a sleeping berth just big enough to sleep in but small enough to be pulled by a small economy car. It would be easy to insulate, cozy and weathertight if you are not too claustrophobic to sleep in it lowered.
