I would use a polyurethane based clear coat for the sealer. Will remain flexible and soak in really well and EASY to spray. Just me, but I would gusset the 90* joints, glued and screwed or not. That's in theme with the plate on the but joints and would coast no room at all. I would fiberglass coat the outside with a light cloth for the best finish and undercoating the bottom. Otherwise the wood grain will come through.
Are the wheel wells going to be metal of some type?
Next to me up here is a wells cargo trailer facility, they will sell replacement material for say my enclosed trailer in rolls, why not cover you exterior like thAt or source the flat Fiberglas panels they use for these large RVs running around. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I have mixed feelings about the raptor liner. Not sure how good it would stay stuck on primered, sealed, finely sanded wood. It would suck to have that stuff start peeling off in sheets (like it is on my aluminum ranger bed)....plus you need to spray clear, or paint on it to keep it from fading (like my bumper, and I think yours also).I'd fiberglass the whole thing, externally for sure. Maybe aluminum sheeting for the roof.

I sat in Howard Hughes captain seat and put my hand on all those throttles, or whatever you call them...At the time I sat in it, it was the worlds largest aircraft.
Holy moly, 57 gallons rear of the Axle!! I mean I see most of the camper is front of the axle but dang, that’s 456lbs of water. Then you add your spare swing out bumper mix thing you’ll have back there...that’s a lot of weight back there but, I guess because there’s only two feet behind the axle in totalMaybe you need that much weight to balance it neatly!I look forward to seeing this continue to come together!

Yea, looking at it as is with all that weight out back, you may think it is rear heavy, but there is a lot of stuff still going to be added. Like 24" compartment in front of the camper along with a steel frame and interior fit out and gas bottle, frig, generator, batteries and other things, all going to be added well forward of the wheels.
