Also, it seems to me that these overland camper shells are not ideal

* they raise the center of gravity considerably. Off-camber situations and hill climbs are much much more dangerous
* they drag you down on the highway, as discussed here
* they're expensive yet they seem to break a lot, especially when pitched in high wind areas

Yet they're very popular with the overland crowd. You don't want to be the guy without one that has to pitch and tear down a normal tent while everyone else can do it in seconds!
