Cabover on an SUV

Well typing in wildlandcampervan also found a few posts, then noted on a video a tik-toc account.
A few posts on his build (though no details/bits and pieces) but mostly unrelated random stuff.

Point is on one videos mentioned he had tried to CA. register as camper and found indeed it didn't pass/qualify.
He had to dismantle and start over following rebuild to regulations.
One mans dream...hard to appreciate the dream but easy to appreciate his pursuit of it.

Anyway did find couple more pics from the rear. Spotted driving downtown SLO, at a traffic light.

Apparently running lights aren't working...

'pics by Henry'

Seen this parked out front of local store for a few weeks, Had to stop and take some pics. No details, virtually permanent so I guess this would be a class C but interesting.

I would think it would be a class B since the main part of the vehicle still has the original sides and all. It is just a high top B. :-)

I'm not an engineer but, the design looks like the faster it goes the more the camper will lift and try to pull away from the vehicle roof.
It is interesting.

I wonder how much reinforcement had to be done to keep that from happening.

Wow!! I can’t believe that thing would ever pass inspection.

Can that possibly be legal? I sure would not want to be driving behind it on a windy day.

Got to ask; what makes one think it's not 'legal'?

Strange? Different? sure, but....

Just when I thought it couldnt get any better than the “I’m allergic to campfires” thread….

Another high priced, sleek RV that I can't afford. :(
