At the risk of being boring, can I ask "what is the ideal thickness of the wooden floor ?"
My panel van is an ex builders van and I'm at the stage now for a new floor prior to the interior work.
Thanks

Do you intend to secure cabinets and furniture to the floor ? 13mm or thereabouts is about as thin as I would risk for rigidity and securing items to. Up to you tho'.

That will be heavy.....
Not sure I would go that thick, I had trouble lifting the 13mm but I'm a wimp....
