Well I got half the roof tore of yesterday, so the camper is partly a convertable now. going ot get the plywood today. and finish tearing off the roof tonight.
agesilaus, I plan on going with 1/4 BC plywood, I figure it will probably be the best stuff to use. I have used 5mm luan, i reskined my 240 gallon aquarium stand with it, I would not trust it to walk on. its way to thin and I'm way to heavy. as far as budget for the plywood its going to cost a $150-160. roughly. and that isn't even comming out of the roof budget. I will need 7 sheets so I'm not to concerned about that. What type of bondo where you going to do?
Map40, How did you do the edge of yours did you use tape? I find on mine that When i was pulling up the old plywood I didn't have to remove the trim full of screws I had started to. but there was no need other then to pull the rubber out from behind it. So just curious how you water proofed the edge, unless you told me and I over looked it forgive me, i do that sometimes.
The same plastic between the two layers of bed liner should do it. Otherwise, good 4 inch duct tape (gorila) and coated with bed liner. It sound a little iffy, but the 4 inch gorila tape will stick to anything and you are just using it as a base for the coating. If you want to go fancier I would use butil tape or eterna bond, they are the best option.
