In the 8'-10' hard shell campers I was thinking the cabinetry was a good 300-400lbs or so? Taking things down to the frame, re-insulating, and covering with a type of hdpe was my thought initially but I'm not sure just how breathable the walls need to be, definitely don't want moisture issues. It would be great to keep all the storage as close the floor as possible.
I am presently gutting Lance camper to reuse interior in my new project and I don't see 300 lb of cabinetry.
Most of internal cabinets/walls ar "toothpick" frame 3/4"x and 1/16 paneling on the side.
Out of curiosity I weight the heaviest doors.
Bathroom door with big mirror 20 lb
Upper cabinet door less than 2lb.
The heavy parts inside are fridge, oven and water system. If you want to delete those, they will save several hundreds lb. Outside - jacks and AC.
Still most of the camper weight is in cabover framing, roof and floor and you definitely want those.
Campers don't have breathable walls. Styrofoam filling with lot of reflective insulation. Fiberglass or vinyl on finishes. None of those breaths.
TC are build with lot of holes around plumbing and electrical connections and that makes air exchange at high rate when you park in winds.
