man, i love your enthusiasm and willingness to share....
but ive been building things in one aspect or another for most of my life, and I found that hard to understand, lol........
here is my idea for the ultimate "composite" side wall......
my van has 2" aluminum "C" channel for corner post supports in the rear corners, and no "studs" of any sort along the side walls....
so im going to glue 2" studs along each wall on 16" centers (5200 3m marine adhesive sealant, nothing takes it off) then im going to take 2" pink foam board (like you find at home depot or lowes) and secure it between the C channels, then bond luan, and finally the FRP over that......one thing to remember, never let seams overlap each other, especially in "wet" environments , if you start from one corner with a full sheet of underlayment, start from that same corner with 1/2 sheet of FRP, that way the seams are as far apart as possible, actually, i would start from said corner with 1/2 sheet of underlayment, then go with full sheet of FRP over that for the largest area of seamless covering.
heres a pic of my composite wall idea.....if there are any engineers in the house and you see a problem with my idea, please chime in....... i am just a simple man who knows just enough to be dangerous, lol
