A nice idea but I think that ultimately a completely wood structure such as that would be way too heavy for even a 3500 or higher series of truck. Not to mention that if you could get one on a capable truck, that kind of weight would be detrimental to shocks, struts, brakes, etc. Now if you could incorporate aluminum studs and other weight saving ideas into the design it would work.

How would the wood hold up to travelling down the hwy at 65 mph? I’d like to see the interior also. But, like the idea.
the designer is working on the weights and other things.
I’m designing a cabover camper for 1 ton and the weight isn’t as much as I thought it might be.
