Subscribed, this will be fun to follow along.
On the stove thing, I wonder if they had it forward for the COG thing?
I don't know, however, moving towards the rear would actually give one a bit more room to work around it.

Sounds like a very cost-effective plan! Will be following along.
Have you got the Kreg jigs?
Have you thought about using epoxied in oak dowles to hold the fame together in lieu of metal bolts/screws?
Have a look at these honeycomb aluminum sanwich panels, from Pacific Panels (ie. all cut-outs and camper shell sides pre milled and ready to assembled in polar white?): here-->
I suck at doweling, I've tried it on a number of occasions in the past, but I always manage to get the hole slightly off on one of the pieces.
I've ordered the Kreg Jig for the large lumber, total cost off amazon was $56, I'll pick the small lumber one up later, when I get to building the cabinet faces, as I plan to replicate the method used in my fifth wheel, which yielded some very nice, very sturdy cabinets.

OMG... I would love to get my hands on an original Kampking. How many do you think are still in existence ?
There's some, since I don't have any idea of how many were built, I couldn't say, they were very sturdily built campers.
I did manage to reach the grandson of one of the designers for McNamee Coach and asked if he could inquire with family if any of the blueprints still existed for the KampKing Snap-N-Nap, waiting for a response back, I do hope that I am able to obtain a copy, as it would make the engineering alot simpler.
