    Considering paying more for FWD or 4WD

    Thank you for sharing your experience. It's very helpful. This is my first rig so I was having analysis paralysis on what to go for before just deciding one day it's going to be a van. Once I get the van squared away it will be time to look for a shop to put the high top on.

    Considering paying more for FWD or 4WD

    using a hi-top for a lofted bed

    I don't have one yet. I'm still planning my rig, but if this could work then it will definitely be a contender against an RV.

    using a hi-top for a lofted bed

    I was on a site where the person had originally planned to use the storage space in a camper hi-top as part of a lofted bed scenario.  I am very interested in this, though perhaps with an additional support structure underneath, and was wondering if anyone else has heard of this or tried it.
