Commercial Truck Topper (Conversion)

Does anyone have thoughts or opinions on converting a walk-in commercial truck topper ( tool hatches on the sides, with a door in the back) into a camper for overnight stays in a city and for general camping.? For ventilation, I would probably want to install a roof fan. Specifically, would you recommend aluminum vs. fiberglass, one brand vs another, any draw backs or pitfalls on the "walk-in" models? Thanks!!

Anything can be done I suppose,you'd need to insulate the walls to make it more comfy,
sprayed on expanding foam would be easiest imo.
I'd go with fibreglass box on GM chassis as I've been very satisfied with Chevys reliability over many years
