I know one or more of you may have already done this, but say someone wanted to “graft” in a camp shell like one of theses....https://www.autohomeus.com/roof-top-tents/maggiolina-grand-tour/
I seem to remember a ambulance build from Canada that did this?
Sounds like mine for sure but I've also seen another ambo with a custom popup roof. Here's a link to mine.

The info about the popup roof is probably 3/4 down the build thread.

Always curiois to find out what it is. Since you did open that door. ;)

I actually discovered that the bed takes up way too much room and is too tall for me to be comfortable sleeping or sitting. Mostly personal preference, but I didn't enjoy sleeping at or above window level. The night we made it into the camp site, we barely made it by 11pm and still had work to do on the curtains which my girlfriend had been sewing throughout the day. Stringing them up in the darkness, while lying on the bed was a bit of a pain. I will say, my girlfriend was plenty comfortable on the full size Queen mattress. Lol.

I plan on revising the sleeping platform to be a slat style bed that pulls out. I also need it to be WAY more modular, because there are times I have to use the van as a pickup truck. I figure if I can contain this structure in a rectangular cube, I should be able to make it easily removable. I'm also working out ways to cover the furthest rear side windows.

Picture from a few months ago! Also, not remote. But it was our first test run of the set up. We discovered a lot of things that didn't work for us.
i almost got that exact van (color combo) a few years ago. It was a monster with the 460 in it. still kicking myself a little.
