We got to see how they are built. The front cap is a one piece fiberglass piece that fastens over the sidewwalls and roof.
The side panels are assembled as a one piece sandwich consisting of fiberglass (filon) exterior, square tubular steel framing, styrofoam insulation, luan paneling covered with wall paper on the inside.

This is the sidewall -
This is the roof -
Here is our floor plan -
