I have no experience with rivnuts in thin sheet metal but if they will work with the thickness of the skin, I say go for it. It would be my preference to use SS fasteners instead of aluminum wherever possible for strength. Galvanic corrosion doesn't worry me as much on an Avion as on a boat.
Another option might be to rivet small pieces of metal to the camper where the lights will go. Maybe 3/32" plate with threaded holes for machine screws. This is how my original STT lights are attached but the plate is steel.
