Cool thanks for your info. Our steel studs are very square because I built them myself :-)
I used 1x1 for everything but the floor so there will be 2 inches of foam between the studs and 1 inch of foam over the studs...no cold steel touching the inside of the camper. Outside of camper is aluminum sheet 0.063 thick. Bonded to steel studs with 1/16" spacing and Sikaflex 252 adhesive sealant. No galvanic action there.
Everything is expensive though when you do things right. Makes me just want to buy a camper and not know what they did underneath. I am not one to cut corners, so I could never build these for a living.
