Just picked one up myself! Theyre pretty awesome! I pull mine with a Tacoma. It does ok. Could use a little more power on the uphill side but not that bad. I did have dirtbikes on the front tho.

The cargo capacity is about the 3500lbs. It tows really well when it's empty or loaded. I didn't get very good mpg, but i was going up some pretty steep grades. I don't think it comes in different configurations. This is the hood river edition.

Are there different interior configurations available, or just bunk beds in the back?

Mean-looking rig when its all put together, like its going to swallow any problem you throw at it. Week at the beach with 6 relatives? No problem, it will carry the 3 EZ-UPs, 7 chairs, full-size grill, and you can put a tent up on the "deck" to house them after you unload. Weekend of ATVing in the mountains for 2? No problem. Two weeks cross-country as you collect antique furniture for your new house? No problem.
What is the max cargo rating? I will be very interested to see what mpg numbers you get, whether all that open space between trailer and TV help, hurt, or doesn't make a difference.

First time I saw a pic of one I thought someone had done an extreme mod! I love the idea of this, for the storage alone, I'd bring so much more stuff!
