Looking for replacement for walls in 1960

Does anybody know thickness and where I can get the oak veneer plywood that has veneer on both sides of the wood. I have three walls that were destroyed from Hurricane Irma. I can find 1/4" that has veneer on oneside, but having trouble finding it on both sides. Any suggestions?

I found 1 local supplier of oak, it's metric and just over .200" and $25/sheet for a great fit. None of the big box stores here carry it.

Find any woodworking shop that deals in furniture grade wood products as they will be able to order you any amount of sheets G2S (Good two Side), in any thickness, with whatever core you wish (spruce, marine grade), from their veneer supplier. You may also be able to specify rift oak, quarter, flat cut or rotary and have the sheets number matched with the same flitch of veneer. This is especially nice with rift or flat cut veneers.

You can even get veneer laid up on accoustic panelling.

You will pay for this, but it will be worth it.

Here is the company we dealt with in Ontario. Show this link to any wood working shop to find a comparable company in your area.

Cheers

Thanks guys. heading to fabricator because all my wood cabinets above the bed were shattered and the aluminum tracks the cabinet doors slid on are all bent. I am going to rebuild the cabinets to their original construction. Want the trailer to look like it did before the tree fell on it. It was all original and all the wood was refinished. It looked awesome then the tree fell

I’m totally rebuilding our ‘64 and needed to create templates, cut and fit all the bulkheads (interior walls). I went to a local custom cabinet shop. They were kind enough to order any plywood I needed or wanted. I’d recommend ordering your plywood with a “veneer core” �� Best of luck with your repairs and restoration!

Thanks for the advice. I went to a cabinet shop where the owner is renovating a 74 overlander and he ordered the 1/4 oak with veneered both sides. I went to a aluminum fabrication shop and he told me how to fix the channels for the cabinet doors. I got one fixed and won't start the other cabinet until the first cabinet is finished. Once I get all interior wood pieces fabricated I will store them, then start on the skins and frame after it is gutted. I want all interior parts finished first so I can just put everything back.

Two days before Irma hit my son and I were checking out a 60's Scotty to renovate, so I already had the mind set for another renovation. Skins and Frame will be a new experience. "Patience is the companion of Wisdom" St. Augustine
