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
A late model trailer would be in great shape and plug-and-play. You also would not have to feel bad modifying it. I could not handle any exterior or interior changes on this one, I'm going to put a small stand alone type A/C unit in it and vent out a window.
