Check out my build thread in my sig. ARE. I love it. Got carpet lining, 3 12v outlets and light. Think it ran 1500

My opinion, get a shell with flush mounted windows.
Not the ones with the aluminum frames. They just look so dated.

Leer makes a quality product, but they're proud of it too!
SnugTop makes a great product, but their clear sucks (Dad's '98 had the camper put on within 2 weeks of buying it new, all washed/waxed the same, the camper clear is coming off, truck looks spotless)

The one is a leer that's flush with the roof and from the pictures looks pretty nice
