Your camper is going to be really similar to mine. I'm going with a bigger bed/rear seat, and getting rid of some of the storage as i will use the high top and behind the seat for my storage needs. I tend to wear the same clothes for a few days (till my jeans stand up on their own LOL) when i'm camping so I dont really care about storing alot of clothes. For me my concerns are wetsuit storage, surfboard storage and kite board gear storage. I plan on putting a small kitchenette where your wardrobe is and some drawers under the seat for my clothes storage. i also want to build shallow cabinets where the rear most windows are for canned and packaged food.

I'm stoked you like my high top idea. Steve seems like a legit dude and i would love to know how the top turns out as i will be following suit this fall.

To charge your batteries with the campsite power you'll need an converter/charger. Its a standard item on most rv's and you could probably find one used out of a camper, or pick one up new for around 500 bucks (i'm looking for a used one).

The seat hinge your looking for is here: http://www.justkampers.com/shop/rock-an ... 11561.html

I know an american company does them as well, just cant seem to find them right now.

I'm travelling for the next week or so but will try to answer any questions if i can. :)

edit: found the american hinges - http://www.busdepot.com/details.jsp?partnumber=98553

Here is a thread which I think answers many of your questions.
