Thanks, UP! Yeah, the insulation is time consuming if you do it right and I know you are. Lots of cutting and measuring involved because of the way the framing is done in these trailers.
I've used Luan in a variety of applications and the trick is to seal the heck out of it. If used outdoors, I like to use an oil finish so I can get the sealer way down into the veneer ply. I have it on my yard shed for doors and I have to renew it every couple of years with more oil. Any kind of plywood, as long as it is rated with exterior glue will be superior to Luan, IMO. Hard to beat the price of the Luan, though. I'm having good luck with cutting this batch, no chipping or tearouts, so far. I'm trimming the box openings with a laminate router and drywall cutting bit. It works.
This picture has a lot of yellow from the halogen light. I'll get some more paneling pictures up when the sun is out and the color will be a kind of greyish tan, just about what I wanted.
