So stoked you are sharing the build I been waiting to see how the box would turn out once mounted. Looks great as is frankly prior to the coming overland fitout that's coming I'm guessing, it's pretty stealth.

I have been looking at the body builders handbook however I haven't came to a direct conclusion on what the shortest possible box length is for the 138 wb cutaway, it appears 10ft/12ft by a few box builders websites but I also saw 9ft for shortest bed length indicated in the handbook. Always was curious to do a short as possible small box van with very mild trail capability after seeing some great builds on expeditionportal.
Edit: looks like closer to around 128 inches if going by Ford's CA+RA to end of frame measurement.

Hey guys,

Like to share our camper built. Camper body is 13'long and made of lightweight insulated composites panels. Follow us along the next couple months as we are outfitting it.

Nice. I'm interested. How do you compare to Unicell, the one piece all fiberglass box maker? Pros/Cons? Also, do you have a 'house' built for the 2020 AWD 350 long wheelbase Ford Transit chassis? Thanks

Unicell bodies are not insulated and somewhat limited in sizes/shape. They certainly can't do an alcove. Also not sure if you walk on their roof. In any case, we can get you box any truck and basicly any size up to 38' long. Cheers

I really like it, but would want a second door in the back or maybe a ceiling fire escape hatch. If there was a fire near the front there's a high risk of being trapped.

Good point. The side entry door is pretty much in the middle of the camper. We think that's enough. Right across from the door is also a window that could serve as an escape route.

Looks good. How about interior pics?
It's coming. Currently waiting for the drawers and other components. I made the mistake and shared the "in between" stages with our last vehicle and people kept picking it apart even though I mentioned several times that we are not done! Please be patient pictures are coming :)
