The only other issue, if you’re in a permanent spot it’ll be an easy fix, is that no matter what you try to do to keep the weight down you won’t match the featherweight factory build.

Finally, plumbing is regulated too after the Walkerton fiasco so check ahead of time if you will be ‘plumbed in’ to the campground.
Just whistle if you have any other questions.
Best of luck.
