I would do this:
Cold weather? Alaskan or Canada? Other continents?
Plan for what you need. Example- Block heater for the cold ones- Dual elec fans and a HD rad for the warm ones.

Follow the K.I.S.S fundamentals.
NO fancy dancy electronics. They make everything less reilable.
the LESS moving parts the better.
Mechanical lockers are the best for that IMO.
Everything needs to be well kept, Preventative Maintance is ALWAYS worth the trouble.
Do NOT bob the bed. You lose room for storage/legs.
Bumpers and a HD skidplate are a must IMO
Self sustaining your own trip is the majority of the game. Make sure you have enough fuel to get you 100 miles farhter then you need to be.

More for later.
