BravestDog · 03-11-2004, 01:25 PM

I was wondering if anyone has a wood framed (2x4 and plywood) living quarters on a class 8 or medium duty truck?

And what would the difference be between the two materials?

Any idea of how much wood would weigh compared to metal frame and siding?

As a carpenter/woodworker, I feel like it would be fairly easy to build the living quarters using wood.

Any comments?
