I decided to build my own non-cabover minimalist truck camper to fit my 6.5” 1/2 ton truck. The reason for the truck camper as opposed to a pull-behind is that I plan to tow a boat. As of today the framing is essentially complete.

The new progress looks great. You might consider using CPES, clear penetrating epoxy sealer on everything inside and outside on the frame and sheathing at this point. It is a thin penetrating epoxy that does not let any moisture in. It is used a lot in wood boats, new and restorations. I think the Smith Brothers brand is the best of what is out there. It is a little pricey but will keep any rot at bay for MANY years.
