Any thoughts on using one of these on the back of a truck for a small camper?

It is on the smaller size, but I have a 1957 Jeep FC 150 that doesn't have a lot of room on the back of it. I am in the process of swapping the 4 cylinder gas engine out in it with an OM 617 mercedes diesel in it while keeping the 4 wheel drive in tact.

I am sure the fiberglass is on the thin side as it is a hunting blind, but one could 'glass some aluminum ribs to the walls and with insulation in it, should sturdy things up some. I like the fact that it is only 190 lbs and for $1925, it would save a ton of time building molds and such.
I would opt for the double belly. With some planning, should be able to squeeze a small sink and cook top in the front and 2 fold down bunks on the sides.
Any thoughts?
