Good point, Larry! So if I understand it correctly, with your method, the aluminum support rails can go essentially anywhere, since the beam clamps can slide up and down the web on the frame members?
And when you say "bolt the panels together," do you mean the foam panels with the coroplast covers? Or do you use an "underskin" of aluminum sheeting?
Thanks again for all of these tips!
The way I did mine is each panel is bolted with nylon bolts and nuts to the adjacent panels thru the alum angle on the edges and the holes have to match so the panels need to go on in a certain way. Also almost every panel has some sort of penetration like for LP lines up to appliances, water drain lines, dump valve area, and of course the over axle panels are unique since they have to fit around the suspension supports. One reason for bolting the edges together is to get a little better "span strength" by having two 90deg angles bolted together. The foam board I put for extra insulation simply lays on the panels and there is no extra skin like alum, just the coroplast.
