So back on topic then... Is there a reason for the cab over portion? Is that going to be big enough for a bed there? Losing that harsh aera above the doors would be nice. Putting a radius down the side of the roof also is important in cross winds. Basically like the back part but make the whole top that way. Just cut the bottom lower and run a flat portion down from the top after the radius ends. I wish my Hi-Lo camper had better radiuses, an Airstream top on a Hi-Lo bottom would be perfect. Just so you know the seal between the 1/2s of my Hi-Lo is far from perfect. It does OK in the rain, but take it on a dirt road far and it's a mess inside. I wish instead of an overlap seal, the top just rested down on a plate and made a seal, more like a tent pop-up camper. Our new camper has tip out tent beds. If you could work one of those in there you get a big jump in floor space as the bed no longer takes up any room. One queen tip out, and one couch bed would be perfect for 3.
