Interior panel thickness question

Hey guys, just a quick one....
I'm rebuilding the insides of the bus & have made a frame up.
This now needs panelling up.
Will 3mm ply be thick enough for the side panels or do I need something more substantial?
Thank you.

If it was me, minimum would be 6mm mate

I did mine with 3mm and it's fine.

3mm is widely used in most conversions, bendability

Great stuff, thanks guys.
Sounds as though 3mm is good most for jobs, but the 2 bigger panels that may get knocked, 6mm.
Sorted.

Need to buy wood yet, let alone trimming stuff.
I'll put a pic up when I get there.
