thoughts?

As with many of the 70 Series campers we drool over in pictures, I decided to see what an 80 Series would look like with a high top roof conversion. I've been playing with this idea for a while, converting the 80 to a small camper with two front seats and one rear bench seat that folds out into a double bed, placed over a drawer storage system/pullout galley, with storage and a table-top on the other side. The system would be removable to allow for the transport of a motorcycle or larger cargo.

I GIS'd a high-top VW Vanagon, then removed the roof and placed it on the top of my Cruiser in Photoshop. Tweaked the dimensions a little, and the angles aren't exactly right on, but the idea is there.

What, in your opinion, would be the major pitfalls of a high top roof conversion?
