I know I've seen this in here before, but can't seem to find it. Roughly how many sheets of birch plywood would it take to replace the birch in a 16 ft camper?

The sheets are 4 foot X 8 foot and stand on end.
So if the length of the camper, hitch not included, is 14 foot, that would be 3 and a 1/2 sheets per side.
You then would need to measure from the floor, up the back wall and along the ceiling then down the front wall, take that measurement, turn it into feet and divide by 4.
Then add four more sheets for goofups. LOL, Just kidding.
If You plan on doing cabinets too, that also would need to be taken into consideration.

Also, you will need different thicknesses for the walls and ceiling, depending on the trailer. A lot have 1/4" walls and 1/8" front, back and ceiling. So plot and plan before purchase.
