For the price, that's a bitchin' rig. Racingjunk consistently has killer deals, that's where I found my critter.

While weird, I can see one advantage to that roofline: on most rigs, the A/C units, TV antennaes, vents and other "utility stuff" form the highest points of the roofline. Had he run the whole roofline that tall, he would have been effectively 8" to 10" taller than it is now because those "utility items" would still need to be there.

As is, the top of his cabover is the highest point with the utility items behind it at the same height or a fraction lower.

So he gets a usably tall cabover bed AND he gets extra "brush/trees protection" for the utility stuff.

May look fugly but it's a very well thought out concept.
