djg,
I agree. It’s a shame Livin’ Lite was so short lived (no pun intended). I thought and still do that their all-aluminum and Azdel was the way to go. I’m sure, given your location, you tracked down one with super insulation and thermal windows. They are hard to find.
The Cirrus campers seem to be one of the more forward thinking TC companies and they use a bunch of aluminum and Adzel in the construction of their campers. They are on my list. Truck Camper Magazine just ran an article on the “Smart” camper option they are developing. It’s pretty intriguing. The roof is aluminum, as I recall and they’ve mounted a 200w flexible solar panel on the curved nose of the roof. Aluminum is a big plus, if you’re planning on a lot of time in the southwestern US. Just a thought.
My reservations with the Cirrus have to do with the big window on the nose of the cab-over. That looks like a leak waiting to happen. Beyond that, Cirrus gives you a really efficiency heating system and use of space.
Mea culpa: ON EDIT: THE CIRRUS 820 DOES HAVE TWO BATTERIES! I apologize for any confusion I might have caused.
My $0.02 and worth every penny,
