The idea of saving space in the sleeping quarters and then gaining it in storage is interesting. After all, all you need is 24" of headroom if you don't mind crawling/rolling in and out of bed...

When you're sleeping in bed, you don't need a 7' ceiling.

I think it would be cool if the rear panel in the bedroom opened upwards and it could be a giant door/window. Open it up on hot nights when you have a good view out the back...

I like wicks tractor layout the best http://truckconversion.net/photopost/showphoto.php?phot...ort=1&cat=500&page=1

The condo top on the tractor seems to be the best layout. Windows on the top spoiler and a window on each side of the tractor is cool. Windows are great. They let in light and they let you see outside...better than sheet metal...

You can get out of the drivers seat, stand up and walk into the conversion box without crawling on your hands and knees...like that small window above the driver also.
