Forget about taking the slide in off at the camp. It’s a pain in the rear, unless the camper is much wider than the truck ( or at least the jacks) and the site is smooth and level. Some campers aren’t really made to be used unless on the truck or saw horses.
Electric jacks would help, but any...

See my build thread for details, tons of pics.
But short story is the lower section and cabover are 100% new. Upper section is 80% or more new.
Lower section is all marine grade ply, glued and screwed. All appliances and equipment bought new for the build. My MIL did the cushions and curtains...
