How do you pick?

[TrainChaser]

If you're a truck guy, you're a truck guy, so why fight it?  Have you ever considered building your own camper?  There are quite a few advantages to doing so:
*  It will probably be cheaper and built better than anything you can buy. (I think I've seen books.)
*  You’ll know how it’s put together, and if it’s damaged or a part breaks down, you can fix it yourself.
*  You can have wood or steel framing; wood, fiberglass or metal exterior*; your choice of insulation, your choice of wall covering, etc.*  You can make the kitchen and bath as simple or as modern as you want; you can have a stationary 2x2 frame bed, or a motorized Murphy bed.
*  You can customize every facet to suit yourself; if you change your mind about something, you re-do part of it.

Check out Lloyd Kahn’s books:  https://www.amazon.com/Lloyd-Kahn/e/B001JS1BQY
Each book has about a thousand photos (really), not a how-to, but great ideas.  

*  You usually see sheet metal crimped or corrugated, but you can buy it flat (cut to your length), just contact a Roofing Supply Co, not a Roofing Contractor.  If I build mine, it will have a ‘Copper Penny’ metal roof, a beautiful baked-on metallic copper color (you’ll have to see it in person to realize how gorgeous it is).  https://i.pinimg.com/236x/c5/88/36/c5883...l-roof.jpg   And it’s no more expensive than the usual gray, white or terra cotta; here in W. WA, about 48” wide, $2.67 per linear foot.  But you have to specify that you don’t want it crimped.  Colors are baked on -- I use some 18"x 10' castoff pieces for raised garden bed, and when I move a bed that has gone through several years of wet mud, it still looks great.  (I use stainless screws.)
