Hello people?
I wanted to thank you again for the support they provide and for letting me be part of this group
taking the big problem of language, I find it very difficult to find information.
and as I'm finding out the materials to build my own tears.
I would like to help with the following information:
Walls: which material? and what thickness? I find out type wood plywood (phenolic) 15 - 18mm
Floor: the same material as the walls?
The "skeleton" for the roof: the straps of the type of wood? that thick?
The top of the roof: Aluminium? stainless steel? PVC? Fiberglass?
Interiors: MDF? or 3mm Plywood?
Sorry for the inconvenience but it will be of great help if you can work with this information
a greeting!

Translation:
Plywood for the floor is usually 1 / 2 inch (12.7 mm)
the walls can be of plywood (interior) 1 / 8 inch (4 mm) and outer 1 / 8 double laminate or sheet of 7 mm (1 / 4 inch)
the roof (top curve) can be two sheets of 4mm to have a thickness of 1 / 4 inch (7mm) that's for plywood does not fracture when put under pressure to take the curve you have chosen.
the transverse roof beams can be pine, spruce, or any timber that you can use, I do not recommend any eucalyptus wood or any other wood that tends to rot easily, because the condensation of perspiration can get into the wood, and it would not be very good.
camper cover can be aluminum or fiberglass, or, if you don't have those materials at hand, you can give it several coats of resin, or polyurethane, from there, the sanding paper from 120 to 220 grit, and give him a coat of marine paint (Alkyd or enamel) to protect it from sunlight and moisture / rain.
one trick is to paint the internal structure ( between the skins) with asphalt paint or resin, so that if any moisture enters any imperfection, it will not dampen the wood, so you avoid "dry rot" that is, when the wood absorbs water, loses the tannins, and begins to serve as fertilizer for fungus and mold ... which is very bad in the long term.
if you have the opportunity to make use marine plywood (for boats) that would be ideal, I know that pine or fir plywood of good quality is not very easy to find in Argentina (sometimes read about a gentleman who is building a wooden airplane in Argentina, and had to replace the plywood and use fiberglass, because he could not get what the plans were asking)

No problem, you can see how I made mine, so you can get an idea:

This is what I am referring to when I mentioned to paint the interior with asphaltic paint or resin....
