Gary, we will be coming up there to Alaska in a few years in this camper, so make room! :)
I like the idea of curved sides...but that really makes my roof hard to build, plus all of the cabinets inside would be funky. Will just have to slow down when it is really gusty and deal with the possible hit in mpg.
Will just have to leave that cool feature to Avion and Airstream.
Just as a thought, you mentioned "flat-roof" The great part of the rounded sides is that you can skin the sides first, then skin the top such that it rolls over the curve, and extends just over the side panels. very clean, and with all your re-enforcing of the frame, would work very slick. as for the inside, I don;t know what your plan for the insides was, but FRP rolls around corners very nicely, as does aluminum. As for the cabinetry, I thought it was going to be really difficult with all the curves of the Avion, but after a few tries you get really good and making the measurements, and it truly adds to the character of the TC. and yours would be far easier than and Avion or Airstream since your will only have the upper curve. The Avions and Airstream's are truly rounded, front to back, and top to bottom (think pregnant roller-skate :-) )
Not trying to argue, or change your mind, just wanted to add that there are a lot of pro's about the rounded top corners that offset many of the con's.
Keep us posted with pics as the build continues!!
