Plywood walls

[Kman77]

I was wondering how things such as wall lights are attached to the wall when they are built of 3/4 inch plywood. It seems like it would be difficult to run things such as wiring anywhere on the walls, also with only 3/4's of an inch to work with the windows and door would have to be very shallow.

Any helps appreciated

Mine runs in the 3/4 left from the wall studs where the foam runs. I used 1/2 depth carlom boxes for electrical




After the 3/4 foam insulation and the wiring is installed I veneered the inside with 1/4 " luan and cleared with marine spar varnish.

The 2 switch boxes shown are equiped with a rotary switch for dc and a toggle for ac. We sleep feet to the hitch so the low switch is easy to reach from a sleeping position and the switch by the door is easy to find entering or exiting the tear.

I used snap together low profile conduit and ran the wiring outside of the interior walls

On the inside I make 3/4" wide and 1/4" deep dadoes for the two wire chases to the light switches on each wall. I cover it up with 1/8" hardwood plywood skins. I run my wires along the ceiling and cover them with removable custom molding that is hollowed out to accommodate the wires. I use 3/4" hardwood lumber for light switches hollowed out on the back side for the mass of wires. Danny

You can use wiremold type stuff like Starleens did or cover with molding. For the lights make boxes if needed.



I wish I had made this one to fit the corner at the ceiling. It would be better.
