I want to do this, only I want to cut mine off in front of the rear doors... near perfect weight balance on the trailer and would still have enough room for me to stretch out and go night night. I have also thought about using an MJ bed (with a custom built trailer frame under it) with a topper.

This what your talking about. I'm keeping the front passenger compartment for cargo and such.

I have blocks under the unirails so it looks like its the same height as my rig, but its actually about 3 1/2 inches lower. Looking for a set of Dodge ram leafs to make a bastard pack for my rig and blocks to lift the cherocamper to sit even with my rig. Name:  IMG_20131003_071953_931_zps55b8f486.jpg

With the exception of a few parts, everything I'm removing is for sale and I'll ship almost anywhere if its reasonable. Already sold quite a few things but there's still lots more.
