Perhaps you otter consider getting a Westy interior, Westy top, and cleaning
all the silicone out of the sunroof mechanism. That hole in the roof is
large enough to support access into the top bunk area. Bolt on the
Fiberglass top, install all the Westy stuff, build a platform for the bed
upstairs, and you have a camper for a reasonable price.
Yo already know the mechanicals.
It's what I would do if I had a sunroof.
