CM,
The FRP that is sold at Home Depot type stores is fiberglass reinforced plastic, and is also used in many restraunt applications (I know, I just hung about 60 sheets of it in the last couple of weeks).
It will also make a nice shower stall. I made one in the last bus I converted, just bought a shower base, and finished the rest in FRP.
The fiberglass reinforced plywood comes in different thicknesses, 5/8" being the standard for freight trailers I think, but for smaller boxes, I think they told me that you could use 1/2".
I have a number for a FRP manufacturer somewhere around here, if you want, I will try to find it. I takled to them a while back when I was thinking about making my own box out of FRP. I think they were in Ohio or Illinois. The one thing I couldn't find was a source for the aluminum extrusions to put the box together with, although I am sure there are many places out there that carry them, I wasn't able to find one.
