Nice idea on the wall covering, maybe make up some nice wood trim pieces to cover the areas you don't like? If you are adding cabinets or baskets to hold stuff you'd never see it as well.
[I, use to own a 70s slide in trk camper it was in good shape but the only thang that went bad on it was the outside front were the outside crank down jack stands gave way because the wall rotted over time]
I got interested in your video's because I saw you start with fibreglassing the foam panels but you seem to have gone to using other materials, can I ask why?
The tub and roof was fiberglassed as well as the sides, though I did add 5mm plywood to the sides. This was impart to 'over engineering'. In retrospect, there was no need for it. I assumed the windows would need more bite on the outside and hence used wood. two additional layers of 1708 would have sufficed rather than the wood.
@@GeorgiaAstronomy I found your videos because Im interested in the superior thermal properties of fibreglass apposed to the steel lined panels I used for my build. Im starting to think that making the panels before I put together the box is the only way to go though as trying to glass a ceiling doesn't seem like it would work to well.
@@jedics1 yes. The process of doing it upside down is a real pain. I had to thicken the epoxy some. If you don't mind a minimal investment in a vacuum pump and plastic sheeting,, I would suggest vacuum bagging. You can do whole sheets and make it easier.
@@jedics1 it removes all the air bubbles and fills the voids and makes a better bond.I was wanting to do it but did not have the space available to actually do it.
I asked ChatGPT "In Georgia Astronomy "Building a foamy truck camper" youtube videos where does he show how the camper will be attached to the pickup bed" & got not much of an answer.

I think a wood under laminate like a thin luane board would be a nice light option for walls also with maybe some trim over the seams
the lining looks great, well done, from New Zealand
Thank you! New project coming!
Looking great you will be in there soon having fun with it
Party on the lawn coming soon!

Looks fine and enjoy the content. Keep it going. The paint does look good
Thank you Brian!
Lux!!!!🤩
The paint does look amazing. What kind did you use to get that kind of shine?
I used TotalBoat with a little thinner added.
[it, looks great]👍
Thank you!

@@GeorgiaAstronomy What does vacuum bagging add over just laying a panel of foam down and glassing straight on to it?

butyl tape on the window, right?
Yes sir!
