Best of all worlds would be a low profile pop-up camper that actually improves the Cd of the tow vehicle by making basically a boat tail trailer.

What happened to your HiLo?
If I went pop up style I would probably get a used Trail Manor unit which is a brilliant design in its own way as it definitely gives the small frontal area with a pretty healthy interior space. I think if I had more confidence in my capacity to reproduce the lift mechanism and slideouts, I might give it a go.
Thanks for pointing out that sticky. I will check it out for sure.
