What I have heard to do about the AC, is to have the one that is already there re built.

Keep reading all the threads. Pay close attention to the floor replacement threads regarding c-channel, the floor is structural. Do it right! And insulate as much as you can. You can buy a rivet kit from airstream or from a big box store. Is your airstream going o be stationary? Are you aware of the sealants etc you should and should not use? Be sure not to use silicone, for example!
