On a build several years ago, on a pickup, I built to allow the tailgate to remain while using double rear doors. This allowed easy access through one door with the option of full width bed access as well. I could load an atv with both doors open. I enjoyed the tailgate "porch".

Coopers are great tires!
An all season vs all terrain will likely meet your needs just fine, that's what my Dad runs without any trouble. (similar use, also coastal Carolina). You could look to pick up a set of light tire cables as insurance.

Some things cross over well, however. The advice on streamlining tool kits is great. Our Samurais only need a 10,12, and 14 mm wrench. Wish other...
Very nice!

The use of adhesive is intriguing ,as the fabric work can be intimidating. I'll have to look into this a bit more.
I hope you and your family are able to enjoy this camper...
