This will be camper 2.0 for my van.
1.0 was very basic and not functional enough.
While i love the expedition concept, There are no expeditions planned in the near future. The application will be weekend camping, skiing and other adventuring. One challenging application will be winter ski camping. I have seen many great builds but few who can operate 100% with the doors closed. One goal is to get to all of my stuff with the doors closed. (IE: Bad Weather)
2nd goal is leave the van able to do other things. The sleeping deck in the cargo area will be removable for more serious hauling. The kitchen may come out easy too. This is not the only vehicle I will use for camping either. All of my pots pans plates cups, kettle, and silver ware fit into a duffel. I will be retaining the duffel. All I have to do is grab the duffel and white gas stove and I can cook outside, or load up into someone else's vehicle.
Here are the dimensions. I'm calling this poor mans CAD.

Note i forgot to draw the firewall. It appears in later drawings.
