    Default Would this work for a camper?

    It would need some modifications.

    Interesting! The Supreme Astro body is 82 inches long inside, so most people could stretch out and sleep. The roof has a small skylight to allow some daylight in. Otherwise the van would be very dark, indeed.

    It appears that the Astro body is designed to fit a Chevrolet Colorado or GMC Canyon cab/chassis. The package is only 79 inches tall, so it fits in most garages. Here's the web site http://www.supremecorp.com/supreme.p...cts&body=astro



    Instead of the Astro, I would be inclined to purchase a small slide-in camper with pop-up roof, like the Four Wheel Campers (FWC) Finch or Fleet models, and mount it on a mid-size pickup. If you want to design your own interior, FWC offers a shell model.

    the company that services our appliances has the Asto trucks. one of the technicians is a surfer and i always ask him to give me the tour through the truck.

    i think for live aboard there would need to be a couple of windows cut in for light and ventilation. the body is quite well made; fit, gaskets, & hardware. big plus is the one piece design = no seems to leak. i don't remember if he told me the cost, but i think it would be a real quick way to "get out there" and modifications could be made over time.
