I was thinking the same thing. Rather than reinvent the wheel, get a camper of comparable size and remove the siding. Then, replace the siding with whatever color aluminum you want and add the skirting. Voila!!! The only problem I have found is finding the right floor plan. Almost all the campers I have found have the bed in the front which prohibits cutting the door to go from the cab to the camper. One other thing I have run accross is the campers usually are slanted back at the front so there would have to be some cutting and fitting to mate them to the truck properly.
