Alan,

With most FRP truck boxes, trailers and such, there is no frame, just top, bottom, and corner aluminum extrusions. The FRP is bolted or rivited to these. One site that I looked at (can't remember which one at the moment) said thet they glued furring strips to the inside of the box, to allow for insulation, wiring, plumbing, ect. then finished the inside off like you would any other RV, with paneling, or whatever.

They also make a special FRP panel for the roof, that has a slight bow in it, so that water doesn't lay on it.

Another advantage to FRP is that it can be made in just about any size or color you want.
