It depends on your background/experience/capabilities.
Its not just the basic structural, but also everything that opens, closes, weak points in canvas areas, zips etc etc.
REVS is a must if private as it gives you peace of mind on the title. Cant comment on gas and elect certs etc, as here in WA there issued on the build for the van, camper.
