It was a bitch to ride it in a head wind, and yes I did sleep in it. The camper is a little over 5 ft long, my head sticks out the bubble in the rear so I could see whose coming and look up at the stars at night. This camper is intended for the harsh desert climate of the infamous 'Burningman festival' which I've attended 6 times now. The year prior I made a 4x4x4 box out of coroplast that I hung out in with my recliner. It had a radio, lights shelfs etc. but not enough room to sleep in. The next years theme was 'hopes and fears of the future' (they have a theme every year) I went with fear. "how would one live in a post apocoliptic setting?" Using this idea, my experience living in a box and the idea of what could be the bare minimum space to live, yet have the comforts of home was what sparked this camper. In the end, other than pooping and laundry cleaning (which I had plans for) this little space has everything a traditional basic home can offer. Some major tweeking would be needed for a touring version no doubt, but for what it was it worked out pretty well. You’re right about the roof.
