My riding partner finished his trailer with FRP ,and his turned out terrible ! Lots of waves to it . I don't know if he did something wrong or what .

If you use the frp shower stuff, you need to make the screw fastener holes larger then the screw and cut it to allow for expansion and contraction. The plastic expands at a different rate then the aluminum frame. I used the frp on the side walls and painted plywood on the ceiling. The frp sagged too much for the overhead. You could find a laminated product for that purpose but I ran out of time.

NEO used luan on my walls and ceiling and after 4 seasons it is still in excellent shape.

Have used it for hauling sleds, 4-wheelers, RZR's, deer, furniture, and anything else that came up!

I take it each deer season to the UP loaded with gear (typically the gear of 7-8 guys), a Razor side by side, and this year we came back with

15 deer...and not a scratch on the walls. The luan is put on with rivets.

It's the temps changing that does that, mine does/did the same thing. The walls are pretty decent it's the ceiling that seems to be more wavy.

I used 'el-cheap-o luan -painted white- on the sides, very cheap & very lightweight compared to most stuff, even a 25# sheet of FRP.
Then I had some plywood backed FRP in the nose & wish I'd done the whole thing in it. It's pretty heavy though.

I used FRP on my walls, looked great at first. I took my time giving extra space for expansion and the panels still buckled. I used FRP adhesive also. I ended up putting addition push button to hold the panels where they buckled the worst.

If I did it again, I would just paint the interior sides of the trailer with an exterior type white paint.

The FRP panels and adhesive are fairly expensive, compared to the option of just painting them.

I did my walls and ceiling with FRP 15 years ago. Also insulated ceiling with 1" foam board. Suree helps in the summer. Don't know why the line thru my words.

You accidentally clicked the S with the line through it, just below the font selection box.

I didn't know what that was for. Now I do.

My Lightning has vinyl coated luan. Like a sheet of vinyl adhered to luan. The vinyl isn't very thick but seems to be pretty durable. Stuff is hard to find tho. Seems to be limited to RV and mobile home use so if you could find suppliers for those you might be able to track it down. I'd say it's fairly cost effective or they wouldn't be using it.

Foam spray the walls and ceiling. Covered with MAR-LITE ,white and pop rivets. Old R&R with a million miles. Still looking good..
