Nice info! I'm also looking into camping at ski areas. You might even be able to stealth camp at times if you don't pitch the tent and just sleep in the camper portion.I've traded a few emails with Go Fast Campers, they're looking into it. (I'm obviously interested, see my avatar ?). They're aware of the complicating factors (bed rail buttons, unibody construction, sharkfin antenna, spoiler, no accessory rail in the bed) and seem confident they're well within their abilities.
Sounds like they're waiting on early deliveries in their area but failing that, I've volunteered my March/April delivery for measurements.
It's more expensive than the RTT, but has a few major advantages - you can stand up in the bed even in the elements (so you can change, make coffee, whataever), you can still use the bed as a bed with the tent on, you can mount things like awnings and solar to it. The biggest drawbacks are increased cost, drag, and it's semi-permanent (removable but needs a hoist and requires re-sealing to the bed rails every time).
For me this is a good option to make the R1T feasible for camping at ski areas and on extended road trips (and I can keep the dog crated below the tent), without investing in a full trailer.
