    Looks like a table base to me.

    Excellent. The pop-top works well here.

    Does look really nice, but it also looks as if it is squatting a bit in the arse. No doubt due to the added weight of the cabinets & other interior mods.

    You mean the weight of the camper in general?

    More of less. The outer part of the camper probably doesn't weigh a whole lot more than the stock Commando hard top (it being made of steel while the camper's shell most likely being made of light weight aluminum sheeting over a square or angled aluminum frame). So, the interior accoutrements are what really adds weight to the vehicle/camper. In my opinion, if the camper were equiped with an interior made of lighter weight materials instead of wooden cabinetry then it wouldn't sag in the rear near as much. Even with the sagging rear it is a cool ride.

    I should have kept my little Palomino B800, and done something like that, I'm an idiot...
