Good point, Shadow Catcher. And I am definitely open to learning from you folks who have been at this a longer time, so I will take this under advisement.

I am planning on awnings, which I plan to make myself. A dining fly off the galley, an awning on the curb side and a cabana room for changing and such (read that porta potty) off the other side. I would think those would keep the sun off the sides pretty well, but please educate me if I'm wrong.

I did insulate on my first build. However, my second build I only did the roof with a 3/4" wall. I've camped below 10 degrees and above 100 without problems. If you're worried about the walls sweating, then just put a little auto carpet on them as insulation.

I've found that having the insulation in the roof really helps on a hot day in direct sunlight. Insulating the roof only adds a few pounds and seems worth it to me.

When you have to leave a vent or window open for ventilation anyhow, then why insulate? Just take a thicker blanket.
