Got the PM for a camper conversion. Ended up discovering I find it more important to have it build around my lifestyle for daily use, instead of planning everything around this once or twice a year bike trip.
My life is all about mountain biking, road biking, skiing and running.
People make great beds with garage underneath. The downside is loosing precious rear door walkthrough + loosing huge amount of floor space for permanent bed. Discovered early in the process how much I love the rear right door. Sliding door is huge, but a bit too picky and mechanically too complicated compared to rear hinged doors.
Been biking for some years. Never met anyone who appreciate fussing around installing/removing wheels. I hate it. I can be biking every day. No way I'm gonna remove these other than for changing tires. Van build is planned around not removing wheels.
Bike rack doubles as mechanic stand for basic maintenance. Bike rack is also the bottom part of full size bed. Bed unfolds with piano hinges.
Cutting a huge opening in roof was not an option. Body alterations will occur in places I can easily "rollback" to factory condition (installing rear door glass instead of fans/electrical outlets for example) in case of selling.
Huge roof rack: hang out / camping / yoga studio / shield/deflector against intense heat during summer time / easier snow management during winter.
Stay tuned.
