Hadley,
The interior paneling is a vinyl covered 1/4" ply.The aluminum skin on the inside might work ok.Thats the way Airstream did my 1990 excella.But it is cold to the touch in the winter.
It might through them for a loop for a half second, esp. on how to price it, but in reality it would save time/materials on the build so there should be a win/win common ground on deleting that. No point paying for all the materials/time if you're going to tear it out when it gets to you. I'm assuming you're ordering a 100% shell though, otherwise I can see issues with trying to have them do this.
However it could be tricky based on some of the trip work (top edge of the lower camper, where the cabover meets the front wall, etc.) that are normally on the outside of the interior walls. Also the window trim rings might not fit right w/o the paneling (but could probably just have some scraps stuck in for shipment purposes.
Final thought is if you know what paneling you'd really want to use see if they'd consider installing it.
Just spit balling here.
Thanks for the info and ideas.
