Interior wall thickness
Hello! New here to the community, and excited to be here! I recently bought a 95 classic, 30' and am doing an entire gut and rebuild project, because the trailer had been flooded. I took all the vinyl and plastic off the inner walls just to discover the hundreds of screw holes I'm left with ( that was holding the puffy vinyl up). I was planning on stripping the glue off and painting the inside white, but now with all of these holes I'm wondering if I can just get some aluminum sheets and cover the panels that are most damaged. What do you guys think? What thickness aluminum should I get if it's only cosmetic, but still don't want it to dent too easily?
Thank you!!

I would like an answer to this question also. I was thinking of using Formica or Arborite.

I guess, if it were me, and it had been flooded, I'd be removing the inner panels and replacing the nasty old (now wet) insulation. If that were the case, I'd re-skin the interior with new aluminum panels.

The internal skin? .040, 5052. Plenty of threads hear on how it was done. A key word search should do it.

The funny thing is, I started the project planning on doing this, assuming the insulation would be wet, and we started taking some inner wall panels off, and none of the wall insulation is wet at all! No mold, not damp. So i felt like it would be ok to move forward with the project without replacing it. The airstream wasn't flooded for a long period of time, so I guess the walls were sealed well enough it never got to them?
