Get a copy of Steve Fredrick's Teardrop Shop Manual. http://www.campingclassics.com/shopman05.html I think it's 250 pages with lots of photos and explanation. With great sections on doors and the hatch.
"I intend to stuff 3" of foam insulation under floor between the frame rails to insulate the floor."
I think there's builders in both camps, but it's me belief that if you are loosing heat through your floor, your mattress isn't thick enough.

You may get some slight bowing in the panels and a long rabbet like that might want a little "encouragement" to pull up tight. You should be okay, but I would be prepared to run some extra screws and/or consider a temporary cleat. You'll be able to decide better once you do a dry fit anyway; just my first thought.
