@Hexijen that AT Habitat is pretty slick. I think what I'm going for is a slide-in camper format, but instead of needing all the interior space of a camper (like the Kimbo—which looks awesome), I'd use the slide-in for storage and solar panels and then put a rooftop tent on top of it. I really like the idea of using the slide-in format since at a basecamp you can slide it out on jack lifts and use it as a shelter, which frees the R1T to do day trips without taking down your tent every day.
That's a great table of solar panel data. Focusing on watts/lb and watts/sqft is really smart. I was just using this panel as a template:
SunPower SPR-X22-360-D-AC
My thinking was to find something that is an extremely common shape and size so that it would be easy to replace in the future. Othefrwise, I also just went for as much wattage as I could. The downside is definitely that its rigid and heavy compared to the flexible options you've gathered.
Thanks to everyone for the all the recommendations you've shared! It definitely helps to see all the options for truck bed camping, and I'm thinking that I'll probably be able to find a base rig that I can build on top of instead of starting from scratch with a custom fabrication.
