I did similarly, and bought a well maintained, high mileage 3rd gen. I am fortunate that mine is not my DD. Which allows me to build accordingly.
I like your choice of heavy duty guides on your storage drawer. I recently built a storage / sleeping system for the back of mine. I will try and post some pics tonight (at work now...shhhh).
We have loads of snow right now, so this thread is a good 'mental vacation'.
