After almost a year of planning, design, and production, I'm excited to reveal my new camper! I am extremely happy with the way it turned out and huge thanks to ATC for going way above and beyond on this project!

First a view from above that shows most of the external features. Note some of the key features here - door on the side to free up the back wall for gear storage. Awning over the door on custom brackets to clear the door. Top of the awning is about level with the roof vents and solar panel so no extra overall height was required for the awning mount. Propane is also on the awning side so my outside kitchen can be under the awning with direct access to the propane tank.




This view shows the custom bike rack in action, the AT can holder, and the remote controlled rear spotlight.




Rear external storage hatch.




Side external storage hatch:




Note that these storage areas are also accessible from inside the camper.

Lower Bed.




Converted to dinette:




Rear cabinet:




Engel on slider. I'm really happy with how this turned out.




Utility cabinet and SMEV stove.




So I designed the entire utility cabinet around using a very compact smev single burner stove/sink combo. When I could not get that item I was in a bind. Marty came up with something profoundly clever and resolved the situation. May I introduce the sink-in-a-drawer:

I've only spent one night in it so far but the camper has exceeded my expectations of the design. It's roomy inside, has storage everywhere, and is pretty much everything I had hoped for. Again big thanks to ATC for working long and hard on this difficult project. You guys rock!

That is brilliant!

How does the plumbing work?

Great design. May you have many happy miles and adventures with it.

I'd be embarrassed to tell you how long I spent designing our little shell. Yours is a whole lot more advanced than ours so I can just guess what kind of time you have in it. Even with our semi-custom I've been really happy with how a few changes helped maximize space. Yours takes this to a whole other level and it's pretty evident it has paid off. Have a blast enjoying it.

Very Nice! Well thought out, keep the photos coming. Design is half the fun of a build. Now you get to enjoy the other half. Best wishes.
