The front and rear structures are designed as sandwich panels with 1.5" XPS foam on the inside and 1/8" plywood the outside. Both also have lumber to help carry the load down the bed. The sides are 1/4" plywood, which acts as the main loadbearing structure and will also be in the interior wall. Moving outward, there will be a layer of 1.5" foam and skinned with PMF to reduce lateral flex.
My hope is to make a sparless roof of 1/8" ply covered with 2" foam and then PMF on top. I believe this will be plenty strong enough as long as good bonding can be achieved between layers. I'm not convinced there's a good way to do that besides vacuum-forming on a mold, which frankly seems like a lot of work. Also, I'd need to ensure a good bond between the roof structure and the tops of the sidewalls. I'd hoped to minimize use of epoxy, but that might be a good place for that.
Anyway, hope you like my design! This is my first post!
