    I'm in so cal and having one made, but slightly different than his. I'm building in a fairing with lockable storage on the roof. PM me if you'd like details. It wouldn't be hard for the shop to make 2, even with changes.

    M1088 camper conversion

    I’m running up against the same problem. I’ll probably end up with grey between the frame (105gal) and black (100gal) and fresh (200gal) on the driver side between the cab and drive axle.
