New camper build on F550

[HAF]

This camper is a rebuild of a camper I built a few years ago. It was a turtle mounted on 3500 Chevy. I have gutted the body, added composite interior and added the cab over. I have mounted it to my truck today and took it for a ride. Its super stable around corners. I have all the water in the sub frame and took care to keep heavy stuff low and lite stuff up high. I will be mounting lower boxes and adding both air and hydronic heaters in those boxes. Still need to design build the rear spare tire carrier.Last item with be the "tenting" for the lifting roof.
I have a set of Conti M81 40" tire that will be going on this.
I can't wait to camp in it.
Thanks for the generous comments.

Is it an optical illusion, or is there something between the cabover and cab?

The truck sat outside this past week. We had a small snow storm that left snow on the roof.
You have an eagle eye!

Mounted passenger side boxes and tore steps. Working on the driver side boxes. The rear has the beginnings of a hydronic system. Mounting out of the living quarters will make it safer and less noise. I have located pipe couplings in rear of box as well as into the side of the sub frame where hot water will feed into camper. Hot water can be heated electrically or hydronic ally. Will the water tanks inside the insulated sub frame, the water should not freeze-might even end up with a warm floor.
The handles on the tire winches will be removed for security. Given the truck is a gasser, I have had to install small fuel tank for diesel. I am adding a separate between the rails 5 gallon diesel tank to supply both the hydronic and slated Espar air heater.

How is the seam on the composite panel sealed? On the pictures it looks like they are stacked together on the side. Just curious to learn.

I like those new boxes under the composite living quarters. They look nice and oh so much storage!

The exterior is constructed with aluminum panels. The seam is under the temporary blue tape. I have aluminum rub bars being fabricated that will go over the seam.
Interior is done in one piece composite panels per wall section. Thanks for nice comment!
