I did find a 5.5ft camper, although I seem to have lost the reference to it. In the worst case, I could go with 8ft bed, and use a 6.5ft camper. 1.5ft worth of extra space sounds nice... :) The only reason for going with 5.5ft camper is because I still prefer to drive a shorter truck but still have some space left over in the bed.
Will not go with any slides to save weight, and I will be purchasing 1t SRW truck, brand new.
I would only consider underside mounted aux tanks if there's a way to take some fuel out of that tank. We are planning to build a TT with diesel based heating and generator system, similar to DMH.
While I applaud your thinking out of the box skills, your multiple threads started recently with some very basic technical questions asked tells me that your very involved plan will either be someone charging you a fortune to construct your off the wall ideas or a long frustrating project in your garage!
IMO think readily available products and tried an true setups. You'll be able to go camping during this decade then!
Thank you for the advice. We are still 2 years away from going full timing so we have plenty of time to research and learn. I enjoy the process of researching, so all this is very interesting, especially in truck camper which I didn't take it seriously before. We (more like my DW lol) has a rather involving wish for our full timing, so no matter which direction we go, its gonna be extreme. :)
