Serious international tourers would criticize this rig for hanging over the axle too much in the rear (the technical term I forget). This makes it harder to negotiate steep terrain as the rear tends to get hung up. To fix that, one could replace the dual cab with a single and move the living unit forward. Aside from that nitpick, however, it looks like a fun toy.
We should invite the owner to the NorCal Diesel Drive on July 19th.
