You just need to build two campers now.

There should be some kind of law for cutters besides "measure twice,
cut once."
I've done the same thing Frogwatch did.
More than once.
There oughta be a law.

Similar. I cut a paper pattern to cut new sheetgoods for a bathroom.
Promptly marked and cut the expensive flooring with the wrong side of the
pattern.

I once ordered a sheet of 5x10 plywood. I cut it carefully. If not
summer would have been gone before I finished the boat.

A magazine, I think it might have been Popular Mechanics, had a contest
to see what you could make out of 1 4x8 sheet of plywood. One of the
designs was for a picnic table which a girlfriend decided to make. It
was a clever design. You could take it apart in a minute, and store it
in the trunk of a car. The design might have been for one sheet, but I
would have needed 1/2 dozen sheets to make all those cuts right. The
girlfriend swore she only needed 1 sheet. I didn't believe her. ;-)

You don't have a laser guided template cutter saw in your garage?
