So glad I found this thread! What you're doing is very similar to what I'm imagining for my build. Some significant differences in the configuration, but you have me thinking about changing from a true fiberglassed solid plywood panel to the "cutout" plywood panel with inner paneling and insulation + PMF. Curious to know how you'll make the surface for the canvas uniform and smooth. Epoxy filler?
You're doing roof struts, which I did on my first camper build and it worked well to accept the aluminum roof sheet, as well as bury lighting wiring and insulation, but this time I think I will create the roof structure with plywood panels instead, rabbit joints glued and screwed to an inner brace/moulding piece. I realize it may end up with something of a "drop ceiling" to add a little insulation and hide wiring, but it won't need to be structural. And I'll skip that if I can accomodate wiring somehow, without it looking like crap...
Also, I really like your kitchen box. I had planned on making a side-swing galley hatch that would carry modular pieces like a stove and countertop, maybe a molle panel or french cleat setup, but you have me rethinking again!
Very cool build and kudos on putting in the modeling time.
