Heavy loads up top like solar make that more of a challenge.
Storage boxes hanging below the tray, or even a utility bed as your platform...

That could be done. The base of the camper would need to be heavy enough to support the pull of winching on and off the bed. Ramps would need to be secured for unloading/ loading. Do not use the type of ramps that just lay in a flat edge. Watch youtube to see those type of videos. They are not pretty.

I am racking my brain for inspiration and pointers if it would be possible to build a removable foamie living unit standing height, maybe tiny house style, that fits in the bed of a van like in the photo and be possible to build with a total weight of 2000 pounds, fully furnished though i like my spaces zen and uncluttered.
Thanks
