Hadley,
The interior paneling is a vinyl covered 1/4" ply.The aluminum skin on the inside might work ok.Thats the way Airstream did my 1990 excella.But it is cold to the touch in the winter.

It might through them for a loop for a half second, esp. on how to price it, but in reality it would save time/materials on the build so there should be a win/win common ground on deleting that. No point paying for all the materials/time if you're going to tear it out when it gets to you. I'm assuming you're ordering a 100% shell though, otherwise I can see issues with trying to have them do this.

However it could be tricky based on some of the trip work (top edge of the lower camper, where the cabover meets the front wall, etc.) that are normally on the outside of the interior walls. Also the window trim rings might not fit right w/o the paneling (but could probably just have some scraps stuck in for shipment purposes.

Final thought is if you know what paneling you'd really want to use see if they'd consider installing it.

Just spit balling here.

Thanks for the info and ideas.

Nice woodwork, 'bud.

[Bisleybud]

I thought I would take a day off woodworking and put some more holes in my new Grandby. I had the factory frame the wall for a standard Grandby so I could put in my water inlet, 120V power input, furnace outlet and 3 CU FT frig. I had the factory frame my water inlet 3 inches lower than standard so I could lower my countertop as my wife is only 5 foot tall. I was not planning on a HWH so lowering the water inlet was not a problem.

Got my 3 cu. ft. 2 way frig so I thought I would get it in.This is the frig. the wife wanted.I went back and forth on 12V or propane. I need all the amps I can get for my HF ham radio. So, I hope it will work ok. Furnace will be next, neat unit Atwood 8012 only draws 1.8 amps..

I picked up the same one for my build. Interested to see how it installs/fires up for you since you're cruising along on this interior build and will have it fired up while I'm still building my shell.

Got the frig top on. Maple trimmed white mica. I will make the top removeable so I can get to my frig fan from the top. Started to do some wiring,frig 12VDC and 110VAC done,furnace 12VDC wired running T-stat wires to the bed side passenger cabinet easy on in the morn from bed.110VAC to A/C done, aux outlet on passenger self done w/12VDC there too.Got the galley area dividers in .I am taking the counter top to within 1" of the front wall but not tying to it .Will start lower cabinet this week,waiting on IOTA distribution panel.
