Not really, but here is a blog of another similar construction build by a friend 12 years ago. That vehicle has been from Australia to Scotland and back.

@teelong83 Any new ideas or direction as to how you'll be approaching your DIY over cab camper build based on some of the great ideas and feedback that have thus far been given?

" The body is made of polyurethane foam fibreglass sandwich. The floor and roof are wood batten reinforced 50mm. Walls 25mm. "
Does yours have wood batten reinforcement? I did that as well when I used cheap XPS in the core, and I think it's a good idea... not so important for heavy PU or PVC.

No, I used a PP honeycomb which has good compressive strength. The problem though is that the thermal insulation is poor. We do have carpet on the floor though which compensates a little.
The new build will have a PET foam core (just in the floor) which should be much better.

hey, just curious: are your cabinets and such glued to the walls/floor, or attached in some other way.
still trying to wrap my head around composite constructions.
