Mike,
This is pretty interesting to me, even though I'm so new I don't even know what all of these things are (i.e., clamshell, Benroy)! However, your design is something along the lines of what I'm considering making for myself. I will be getting an old pop-up camper from my brother and using the frame from it, as well as a few other items (stove, fridge, AC, etc.).
My requirements are that, if possible, I need it to sleep four (not necessarily something like a double/queen/king bed and two others, but possibly four separate beds) and have at least a toilet. It needs to stay light enough that my 2013 CR-V will be able to tow it, and that has a 1500 pound limit. I'm hoping to keep it around 1200-1300 pounds, though.
I realize this may be a tall order, but from what I could tell of your design, it may be workable! I'm thinking of something like sleeping slideouts/foldouts, but am not too sure of those just yet. Depends partly on weight, partly on complexity.
Sam
