Ian.
Bob Thompson1894 wrote:I dont know what is under the ply, usually it would be joists from 3x1 (vertical) bolted to the chassis, you could place heavy duty polythene over them, and push 50mm insulation (Kingspan or Poystyrene) in between. Then the ply on top. The polythene would protect the insulation and ply from the wet, and holds the insulation up. Then the ply is screwed at 100mm centres to the joists, and coach bolts to the chassis. As for electrics, the best thing is a trailer board from any car spares place.

...You might have to have an IVA test carried out, unless you've not changed any of the things they inspect (on page 37/38). You kept the lights from the original trailer didn't you??
