Ok, let me answer these questions.
Back-up / Observation camera was after market. Its a furrion, I had them add it. It's wireless with a 7 inch screen. It works really good.
The room around the bed has mostly been used used to store stuff so far. I had my grill and toolbag there. It's easy to just scootch forward to get out of bed. I love the bed by the way, I love that my feet never touch anything. 
The slide out cover was added also. It works great.
The ac unit is not low profile, but I think it's about same noise level. I took it out this weekend but I didn't actually run the a/c, it was cool enough. 
The ladder is great too. I will be up there quite often checking out the dicor seals. I went up there today before leaving the campground and swept alot of pine tree debris off. 
One thing I hate is, This has an actual rear bumper.  Its actually welded right to the frame. Its not very heavy gage metal, and once again they say it's not for carrying weight. Just the spare tire is mounted on it, and it's made to carry the sewer hose.

OTOH, it is full width and will carry a decent amount of sewer hose so that is a big plus over the little one that came with our 179. Plus it is at the back and not the front. That is good also.
