[QUOTE="J4yman, post: 635922, member: 33302"] So I currently have a stock 1.6 Dormobile conversion. I am wanting to replace the interior with the same but want to replace it with a lighter material. I think it's currently 15 or 18mm plywood which is seriously heavy. I am looking to see what others have done to replace the wood with some other material that is strong enough to support door hinges and doors. I was thinking of Polycarbonate roofing and supporting the edges with a wooden trim. It will be covered with vinyl so you wouldn't see the roofing and it would look like the original setup. Just wondering if anyone else has done this. I am thinking it will be less stress on the 1.6 and also better fuel economy and faster. Thoughts please. [/QUOTE]
