Thanks everyone for the advice, I ended up putting it on my roof rack
anyway.  I picked up too much other stuff to fit it inside.

I am very excited about this project.  I've been putting together a parts
list this morning.  Hope to have it all finished in a few months.  I'm Going
to try small hole method, custom bed.  I got the fold out bed from the doner
westy.  Not sure if I can make it work or not.

For some reason the skylight has been blocked off with plywood.  I have to
investigate to see what is left in there.  I might try to put a larger RV
skylight in.  I'm not sure what it available.

stay tuned..
