Your the 2nd person I'v heard call a camper shell a "canopy" where does that come from? In every other example I can think of that work it involves fabric.

like one of these and bobbing it like a bed

If you want side windows that you can open it will be easier to work with a two window shell, similar to this.

or this

You could easily section the first shell and have a smaller window, or simply fill in the opening with fiberglass and eliminate it.  The second style shell would be a little harder to do, but would probably look better w/a smaller second window then the first shell.
