RV Plywood & Caravan Plywood
Fitting out a caravan, camper or van? The plywood you choose isn't just structural — it's the first thing people see when they open the door. Whether you're lining a Mercedes Sprinter, building cabinetry into a caravan, or doing a full campervan conversion, the right plywood makes the difference between a fit-out that looks like a tradesman's ute and one that looks like it belongs in a showroom.
We stock a range of RV and caravan plywood built around two things that matter most in a vehicle build: weight and finish. Below is a quick guide to help you pick the right sheet for your project — no guesswork required.
Which Plywood Is Right for Your Build?
Falcata Plywood — for when every kilogram counts
Falcata is one of the lightest plywoods available, making it the go-to choice for van and caravan interiors where payload matters. If you're building out a Sprinter, Transit or any van conversion, extra weight in the walls and cabinetry eats directly into what you can legally carry (people, water, gear). Falcata plywood gives you a full sheet product with real structural use, at a fraction of the weight of standard hardwood ply — without looking or feeling flimsy once it's installed.
Best for: wall linings, ceiling panels, cabinetry carcasses, anywhere weight reduction is the priority.
White Plywood — the clean, modern interior
White plywood is popular in van and caravan fit-outs because it brightens a small interior instantly. Vans and caravans don't have a lot of natural light, and a white or light-faced ply reflects what light there is, making the space feel bigger and newer. It's also a neutral base that works with almost any furniture, upholstery or cabinetry colour you add later.
Best for: wall and ceiling linings, feature panels, anyone wanting a bright, contemporary cabin.
Gloss Plywood — the showroom finish
Gloss-faced plywood is where function meets presentation. It gives a polished, high-end look that photographs well and holds up to regular cleaning — a genuine advantage in a space that gets used, lived in, and shown off. If you're building a caravan or van to sell, hire out, or simply want to be proud of, gloss finishes elevate the whole interior instantly.
Best for: feature walls, cabinet doors and fronts, high-visibility surfaces, resale-focused builds.
Textured & Stipple Plywood — practical and forgiving
Textured and stipple-finish plywood trades a bit of shine for practicality. The surface pattern hides scuffs, fingerprints and minor marks far better than a flat gloss or matte face — ideal for floors, lower wall panels, and anywhere that's going to cop day-to-day wear. It also adds a bit of grip underfoot or under hand, which matters in a moving vehicle.
Best for: flooring, lower wall panels, high-traffic or high-touch areas, family and pet-friendly builds.
A Quick Way to Decide
| Priority | Best Option |
|---|---|
| Minimising weight for payload | Falcata Plywood |
| Brightening a small interior | White Plywood |
| A polished, premium look | Gloss Plywood |
| Durability and hiding wear | Textured / Stipple Plywood |
Most builds actually use a mix — Falcata or standard ply for structure, with a white, gloss, or textured face where it's seen and touched. Not sure what combination suits your build? Get in touch and we'll help you spec it out.
