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!
