I haven't decided on a step solution yet. Craig do you mean the top of the camper from the ground?

WOWEE! Very innovative and thoughtful solution for storage space and compactness. Do you and AWC have a patent on this? Cost of camper and cost of flatbed?

No patents. The cost of the flatbed was about 4400 installed and I sold my old bed for 750. Cost of the camper would have to be negotiated with ATC as it was completely custom. I do know that while my camper would be pretty expensive due to the nature of the build, a flatbed shell would be more reasonable if you were interested in that. Again you would have to talk to ATC for specifics.
With an overall cost of about 3700 for the flatbed and the possibility of a not-too-expensive flatbed shell, I think the flatbed option is pretty attractive for a serious wanderer.

Holy Smokes! Even better than I imagined. Good to see you have a new Mistress/"Kept Women". Treat her right and you should get years of fun out of her.

Nice build, congrats.
Couple quick questions if you don't mind.
How does the camper attach to the flatbed?
Why passenger side door over drivers?

We bolted the camper to the bed.
Regarding the door - I wanted the door on the same side as the propane tank so that I could roll the awning out over the door, setup my outside table and attach my stove to the camper propane tank. So the placement of the door dictated where most of the internal cabinets and appliances would be located.
Thats half the answer but I must admit I don't remember all the factors that went into deciding on a right-side door. There are only a few flatbed campers in the US and they all have the door on the right side so I know there's another reason for it I'm just not thinking of it right now.
