My best to you Joe. For the right person this is quite doable. I am doing a resto-mod at the moment on a somewhat different camper, but I noticed your floor plan is quite similar to mine. With the galley down the left and the u-shape dinette on the right (even the same fridge/range placement) and the double E/W bed (I'll bet it's longer than a double) it copies mine quite a bit. There is just something about that floor plan layout that while common among manufactures, is arguably the best layout for a truck bed camper.
Aye, we plan to extend the cabover bed space a bit, as we have a queen in the current camper, and plan to do the same with the new frame.
I'm currently trying to track down some design data from the old Kamp Kings and Amerigos on how they built the second tilt out bed on the rear, as I'd really like to have two large beds in the camper.
Got a quote back on Aluminum skin at $4.55 a sq ft, so I will likely be recycling as much of the older camper's skin as I can, to reduce how much new material I need to order.
I'm also starting to search craigslist for RVs being parted out to salvage siding material off of to supplement new material costs.
