Abstract

A sidewall (24) of a trailer (20) is formed from at least two composite panels (42) joined together by a novel joining configuration.
Each panel is formed from inner (48) and outer (50) thin metal skins and a plastic core (46) sandwiched between the skins. In some embodiments, one or two ends of the panels are of reduced thickness and either inserted into an adjoining panel end, or joined together via a splicing plate (152). In other embodiments, an insert member (452) is used to join the adjoining plates.
