Dragonslayer-I don't profess to be an expert but I have toured the truck conversion manufactures in Elkhart. Regardless of manufactures, the conversion is "framed" then inside is finished (usually through the slideout openings)
As far as welding the conversion to the cab, it wouldn't be the way I would have it done. I will have the cab and conversion connected with a bellow seal and that way the cab and conversion have a little give between the two components. (Ever see how much a class 8 can twist a frame?)
Conversions are typical mounted to the truck chassis with u-bolts or welded frame connectors so if the walls are welded to the floor, the whole structure should become a cage.
