I saw this at an Arizona truck stop. It was gone by the time I got back from the bathroom, so I didn't get to talk to the owner about details and if it's sufficiently weathertight. All I know is that the skin is aluminum.

On the positive side, it definitely took some skill to do that with lights and all! Those headlights remind me of movie scenes where you're out in a corn field, at night, being chased by some really big machine...

"Oh, think I'll toss my 1200AH House bank and a couple loose 100# propane bottles up there"

Bonus love to the middle side window.

I am with you on it being on the ugly side.
He could have at least extended the front a little, to form a windshield sun visor.
 

Curious if that was for head room or storage?
