I also wonder at the weight savings of skeleton and then having to add 1/8" skins on both sides.... that almost seems like zero weight savings.

build yourself a plywood box, let it sit in the sun all day, then go sit in it...
My guess is you'll find the wood transfers a surprising amount of heat.
I question the strength of just a 1/2" or even 3/4" wall to support the stress of a RTT on the roof while off-roading. Remember, we are talking about much more than just vertical load. Unless you are going to add some framing, and if you are going to add framing, then why not just go with 1/4"? Or even 1/8"?
I'm excited to see your build though. Your first one was pretty cool.
