Silver, the VHB tapes are designed to create a permanent bond. Removal involves cutting the tape between the two surfaces with a saw, chisel or other sharp tool and then removing the remaining adhesive. Definitely not something you want to have to do. However, the bond is so strong and clean that if one does one's homework and configures things properly before taping the parts together, it could be another 40 years before someone else has to get behind a panel...
I eliminated the toilet vent entirely by choosing the Curve. The Hepvo fitting will solve the odor issue from the graywater tank. I'm planning only one roof penetration - for solar wires - and am thinking to use a marine thru deck fitting like a cable clam. There is also something called a solar combiner box that appears capable to being made waterproof.
I agree that cabinetry should be made removable to get at systems behind.
Plywood and cleat construction is the easy way to do that, as I'm sure you know. It keeps all the fasteners inside and out of sight. No bungs required!
I'm building modular cabs, using a 3/8" white painted, double sided aluminum clad sign panel with a corrugated polyethylene core instead of plywood. Trimmed with hardwood, like a boat interior. I'll use the same 3/8" panel for the bulkheads and other interior parts. The VHB tape may prove useful in assembly here.
Onward!
