Amber are good, definitely going with some of those.

Gusset plates-
It's tough to tell, but there are lots of gussets in the frame already. It doesn't flex with those in place... so I'm confident that even without strong sheathing that it will be strong enough. It's already way stronger than the original camper frame ever was.
I'm going to skin it with Luan first. That will be riveted and glued in place, thus stressing the luan along with the steel.
Then I plan to use trim coil in 24" wide for the outer skin. Marine adhesive along the joints and fasteners. Then a bucket of henry roof coating for the top.
