But the composite panels adhered into a monocoque should be stronger than any any fastener-affixed wood frame could be. I'll use structural adhesive and make sure there is a continuous bond wherever two panels meet.
This is my tiny mock-up, showing curved aluminum junction framing and a curved top to the lunch-box-size sample.
The floor is two layers of corrugated plastic.
I like it!
Going that route, the framing can be very minimal. Thus cheaper, and even lighter.
I'll need a bit more (I think) around windows/doors and since I want to insulate, it'll need an interior side to the wall.
Thanks for tickling my thinker!
