The problem with an organization like NASA (or, ESA) building campers is: complexity. The more complex the design, the greater potential for disaster (too many suppliers, to many QA checks required, greater probability of catastrophic failure).
I vote for keeping it very simple: a mono-cast polymer fire-proof shell actually ultrasonically welded together (eliminate the seams entirely); use rot-resistant materials throughout (no chance of portal liquid infiltration wiping-out interior structure); outsource for more reliable peripheral component suppliers (fewer exploding fridges, collapsing jacks, melting converters)...
