For the floor I'm going to do 1/2" ply, 1" foam then 1/4" ply top.
Walls will be 1/4" maple ply outside, 1" foam middle with wood supports for doors and 1/4" something inside. For a 1 1/2" total thickness.

Why the 1/2" ply on the bottom of the floor? Why not 1/4"?
It's easier to make the skeleton (and floor framing) from 3/4" material. Otherwise, you're going to have to rip boards to 1". The challenge though is finding 3/4" foam board.
I prefer to use 3/4" plywood for the skeletons.
But I have also used pine.

Not sure where you're located, but we have a RV Surplus store within an hour. You might Google your area. I picked up a new Dexter axle, springs and electric brakes, new and on the cheap. There were a bunch of widths to choose from. It sure made it easy on me.ToxicFlies wrote:I definitely appreciate all the comments and help. As soon as I get my axle lengthened a bit and some other minor changes to frame I'll get started. I'm working nights this week and my welder works days so progress will be slow to start but will keep post updated.
More studying and reading.
Thanks Chris

My question is how much space do I need between the outside of body and in side of wheel.
