I built my own TC,so would say go for it.
I Used 3/4" plywood for botom part and 1/2" ply for sides and roof,glued together using PL construction adhesive,,
coated all outside with Cold cure epoxy and marine enamel.
Not the best idea unfortunately as no paint last very long,
It,would be much better to use truck Bed Liner coating light in color as thats very tough sun uv resistant and can be easily touched up if scratched.
Also use only Exterior rated plywood,in case of leak it wont rot any time soon.
I glued R10 rigid insulation everywhere and was down to minus 20 with no problems.
Sprayed in Insulation would be easier,obviously.
Whole camper cost me couple thousand
Plus 1500$ for Espar diesel heater,its worth every penny as its very eficient and uses litle electric power.
Got also 100W solar panel and one deep cycle AGM batterry.
Use Engel 12V fridge.
