Interesting ideas.

Re: boxing pop top out.

My first thought is added height causing an inconvenience to someone
used to the stock height. My Westy *just* fits in some underground
situations. Even a an inch or two would not allow this. And, if one
were just under height for ferry travel, adding that box might cost
more for water travel.
