I'm split between buying a late model, lightly used (2010-2014) or a project. The nice thing about the project, it will be fixed up exactly the way I want.

If I were to go the project route I would:

Take the camper off the frame
Build a new frame in 5052 aluminum, are as much as possible.
On rebuilding the inside, I would sacrifice a little interior space to extra insulation.
Top would be left alone with flexible solar panels glued down.
Air conditioning: ditch the standard model for a mini-split style
Power system: our Mi-Grid 500
Interior: super light materials
