Thanks for the comparison pics, Bedlam and sbryan. This is a great group here!
sbryan, excuse my ignorance, but in a configuration like yours where you're basically standing on the truck bed when standing on the camper floor, where does that put the holding tanks, which I assume are in the "basement" on a configuration like Bedlam's above? Is there any usage of the space fore/aft of the wheelhouses below the bedrails, or are the tanks above the wheelhouses or even the bed rails on the sides, which I suppose then raises the camper CG?
There is storage in the wheel wells we can access through doors on the inside of the camper. We don't have (and having had both black water and cassette toilets) and don't want a black water tank. The cassette toilet allows us to dump almost anywhere. The cassette has less storage than a black water tank but it has yet to be an issue - any portapotty, gas station, McDonald's or other public accommodation can take our cassette.
Fresh water is under the step up to the bed. Gray water is under the rear bumper on the camper. The CG and weight distribution on the Igloo is about as ideal as you can get for a rig with this much room. Of course I am biased so take my enthusiasm for what it is worth.:W
