Which looks best? I used to like a nice cabover before. The older bullnose KW's and Freightliners are cool when done right. Practicality and other issues are another matter. Cabovers are more manueverable I think. They are harder to work on and would be much harder to build with a workable living area if you intend to connect the cab to the living area. If you build a trailer living area vice the motor home style it really doesn't matter that much. Cabovers are harder to climb into which can be a big issue for the wife or kids though kids think that sort of thing is cool.
