    I'm not sure where you are getting your info. from, but once they are glued, they are brutes. Most designs, even some steel ones, have a pivoting frame to prevent excess torsion.

    DIY camper box construction- what sizes/wall thickness steel or alu have you used?

    I am fully aware that this thread started as a metal approach to an RV. I think this video provides valuable perspective. I have seen thousands American and European builds.
