For a bit of reference, here's why I don't want to get too big:
That is an awesome video. What is the camper shell again? Callen? I also think you should look at Livin Light.
It's a Callen. A local San Diego company (now defunct due to bad customer service) used to make them. Mine is an empty shell, but they would make them with any level of finish inside. Steel frame, aluminum siding. Heavy, but tough. I thought of fitting it out inside, but it sits on the bed rails, and has gaps around the rails and tail gate, so it will never really make a good, isolated living space.
I've seen the Livin Light campers before. Other than the fact that I'm not buying new, they might have the worst layout I've ever seen.
In response to some other comments, I'll check out the Lance. I have considered an older Bigfoot, even though it would mean accepting a bathroom.
Alaskans are nice, but a new one is out, because I'm not buying new. If I were, I would just buy a flatbed Grandby.
I got myself stuck on the hill shown in the picture, but drove right out once I aired down to 25 front and 30 rear. So it's not a case of being undertired, but wanting to keep the mass down. With how weight always seems to grow, I'd really like to keep a lid on it early.
But we shall see.
