Thinking of doing a complete wood interior,,walls and ceiling,,Not sure if I should be applying overtop of the interior skin or removing it and attatching the plywood directly to the ribs...Any ideas??? Thanks

The interior skins are part of what holds the trailer together, so don't take them off, apply whatever over them.

I would take down the inter skins. The plywood will do just fine structurally. A good side benefit is you will be able to examine your wiring and insulation and make the necessary improvements as needed

BTW the walls will be a snap but doing the end caps will be an effort.

You can see how I did it in my thread linked below.

Another example, and the one I followed, is Carlos Ferguson's http://www.airforums.com/forums/f321...ari-15592.html

Cheers,
Steve

Hi, do you have the thread link for the wood paneling? I'm looking to do our 60 Tradewind interior with cedar.

Thanks
Tom
