Here's my current status. Got to figure out siding for the box. My thoughts are tongue and groove cedar and raptor line the heck out of it, aluminium sheet, steel sheet, abs plastic sheet, or a product called alucoliner. Learning to weld along the way. It's been very fun so far. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thickness suggestions for whatever siding you suggest I go with?

i am thinking of doing composite decking and making it tongue and groove so that I can seal in the groove. I like the resiliency and thickness of the material, plus water and weather resistant. can replace a piece if it gets broken, etc...

This guy (http://www.ecotrekcamper.com/how it's made.html) uses aluminum composite material (ACM). As he says "ACM is a composite panel consisting of an extruded polyethylene core that is fusion bonded between two sheets of coil-coated aluminum." It's an architectural product that's used to "skim" a building. I've seen it on buildings and it's quite attractive while being fairly durable, plus it come in several colors or can be painted or vinyl wrapped. There are several brands and you should be able to find a supplier in your area.
