I've been researching building a custom 5th wheel trailer, MDT straight truck, or HDT Motorcoach for several months. What does everyone think the best construction methods are? I've seen welded structural frame with riveted skin, VHB tape attached skin, and epoxy attached skin. I've read positives and negatives of each method.<p>
I've also seen composite wall/roof construction requiring no structural frame. I figure a boat builder in the area might be a good resource for local manufacture since it would be similar to building a boat hull, which must be strong to withstand the constant stress and pounding they take. <p>
Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
