Looking for some advise on building living quarters (couches, tv, microwave, refrigerator, no restroom) inside the front half of a Hino 20'box truck. The back half will be used to store car racing equipment (tires, tools, fuel barrels, etc). The front and both sides are FRP panel. The rear of box has swinging aluminum doors. I have the following questions:

1) What framing construction is recommended for placing interior walls?
a. aluminum or steel or other
b. what size
c. distance between studs

2) What material should be used for interior wall?

3) What insulation should be used?

4) What kind of bonding should be used to connect FRP to frame to interior wall?

5) Lighting recommendation?
a. ceiling
b. where to purchase

6) Window recommendation?
a. installation
b. location
c. where to purchase

7) What material should be used for the dividing wall between the living quarters and "garage" area. I would like to have a door for access between the two spaces.

I know there are lots of questions but any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Tim
