Thanks Snowwalker.
What I want to do is provide a mobile base camp, rather than compete with commercial 4 x 4's. Top end for me is 85 kph with the turbo, by choice.
What I need to know are the basic requirements for inside the camper portion.

I will have a 2000 watt quiet gen set, as well as a 2000 watt power inverter. There will be 4 AGM batteries on board to run 12 volt lighting, fridge, AC etc.
This will be a one fuel (diesel) vehicle for cooktop, camper heater, coolant heater and whatever else I, or, someone else can think of.

She's quite old she turned 50 this year.
Someone tried to turn a Ridgeline into an offload truck, can they even go off pavement.

Hey at least he's not trying to build an offroad truck out of a HONDA RIDGELINE....

well that would be upgrading to a younger model.
Offroad? well they are 4WD, but I would say they would be suited to "offroad" as far as parking in the grass. They are not a truck, more like a minivan with a birth defect.
Take the warning labels off. Darwin will solve the problem.

Oh Much younger Model. Years ago when my wife and I were returning something at Xmas at Walmart, I asked the woman behind the counter if I could exchange my wife for a younger model. Neither thought it was funny, but I did.
I figured Yuppies probably drove those Ridgelines.

Screened roof venting like on a camper trailer. Two is better than one. Better add some ouyside belly lockers to hold the cadavers when someones rotten bum kills four men in their sleep. Stag chilli, coleslaw, and pepperettes washed down with beer. Five go in the box.... only one comes out walking in the morning.
