Looking to build my first teardrop style trailer and have a few questions. Been reading a lot and want to have painted wood sides as my finished sides of the trailer. No sheet metal, fiberglass just plywood. I would like to paint it with something to color match my Jeep Grand Cherokee though. So one of my big questions is what's the best word to use for the exterior finished side walls? Is 3/4" AC plywood fine structurally and cosmetically and weather wise? I live in Southern Utah and can't seem to find 3/4" Baltic Birch. Now Home Depot carries Birch but says they don't know if it's Baltic birch or not. And I have no way of knowing either. Anyone else know if it's Baltic Birch at a Home Depot? I know BB is the preferred type but can't seem to source it locally.
Next would be what thickness and type would best be suited for the outside top of the trailer? And finally the thickness and type best suited for interior use
If I use wood as my finished exterior and paint it what's the best technique for sealing to prevent warping and water coming in? Should I seal both interior and exterior? Also plan on using 2x2's and framing this sort of like a house for the structure with a bottom plate and the studs Krueger jigged in to place. Looking forward to this build and your answers on building materials.
Then my next issue since I'm a big guy at 6'5 260 will be learning how to join the sheets of plywood together as I want to make my trailer 5x10 meaning a 4x8 sheet will be to small. I'll have to most likely do 3 sheets per side.
