We used plywood with exterior glue. It was labeled "1/2" tho was 1/32nd less than that. Original walls were 1/2". We also beefed up the wall edges and ran the rafters all the way across the top of the walls. I used trim screws to anchor the rafter ends, a rather tedious and exact process. All seams and around windows and doors had one by boards. They laid flat on the wall and gave purchase for future curtain rods, etc. Also, the cabinetry, bed and dinettes in this type of trailer are crucial in holding the walls square and adding sheer strength to the trailer cabin. Did you use marine grade plywood?

There are several different plys with exterior glue. Marine ply is probably the best, treated with ext. glue and plywood with exterior glue are two others. I don't recommend treated wood in a trailer.
