The Hallmark EXC is a pretty stripped down camper if that works for you...

Most of these companies will build you a camper how ever you want it. Maybe make a few calls directly to them.

I have Total composites bookmarked. Shell only. Flat pak; assembled overseas; DIY or thru a partner.

^ So I finally went onto FB and looked at Total's page. My take away is a eurocentric model and ideal to the products and that the camper bodies are mostly orientated to larger overland rigs than the typical small slide in pop up. None of this particularly suits me.
However they are local company and I do wish them well. I note that they are offering a mostly assembled box kit for the Ford Transit for under 19K USD, 22.5 CAD. Not my platform of choice at this time - even with AWD - but it is the kind of kit that I'd be interested in, esp assembled. And it's a decent panel thickness at a reasonable price.

I have been seeing those composite panels popping up in several different industries. There is also a guy building a camper body for Tacomas with them. Here a link to his youtube video.
Those panels are laminated with a fairly strong and light weight core. After doing some research I found that they also make a wide arrangement of corner brackets with a C channel on both sides to join different panels together. Then you use an epoxy glue to secure them. It looked simple to put together.
I am trying to find the websites that I found the information on. Unfortunately I remember most of them were either Mandarin with broken English or no English at all.
