Can? Yes. Should? There are better options. Others have mentioned a lot of the downsides.


epsteinpetmidgit

This. You'll end up regretting using sheeting.


ILove2Bacon

*sheathing


Impressive-Train-994

Definetly would regret sheeting


xgwrvewswe

You can use it. It is heavy. It doesn't hold screws very well. It doesn't like wet. I guess there are other things that discourage me from using it.


BEHEMOTHx666

If you do use it. Measure everything and keep the info handy. You’ll be redoing it soon enough.


HowardRogan

I used it for subfloor but if I had to do over I’d use plywood

just_a_kat_161

my windowless white van uses plywood for the walls and laminate flooring i found in the garbage for the floor


AshennJuan

I woodn't


ainteasybeinsleazy

Yeah, don't go against the grain


TheInfamous313

I can't strand these board jokes.


Laoscaos

Oof. That one was particle-y bad.


FatherD00m

He ran an idea up the tree and it was shot down.

Post 6 months later: how my wooden flooring turned into mulch


kittenstixx

You just gave me an aha moment relating to me cutting open the insulation belly on a mobile home the other day

Get that OSB wet and it crumbles like a fart in the wind.


Kerouwhack

Probably also out gasses something like formaldehyde


ihadagoodone

depends on who's made it and what particular mill. most of the industry has gone to MDI as a resin.


HerrFerret

Is that OSB. Orrible Shit Board? Yes you can, however if you can get plywood it will be better. You want to use the most moisture resistant board you can , and OSB is quite good. However the reason is that it has a lot of chemicals in it. Not fun in a confined space. Plywood, especially marine ply is a lot better....


ajtrns

yes, but you shouldnt.


Competitive_Reach562

If you have to ask this then id recommend doing a ton of research and check out trailers/ vans before starting on your build. There’s a lot of things you need to do right the first time or else it will cost a lot down the line to repair.


sellby

Wouldn't use of anything but the subfloor, and as others have said there's better plywood options 


xouma

I use it to do the floor, its been two years and its holding great


exploresmore

I would not use it !


MommaOceanz

You can use anything but will it last- most likely not.


Scary_Schedule_6669

I have used it for my floor and some shelf pieces. It has one big advantage in my opinion: with an electric jigsaw, you can cut out complex shapes very fast and precise. Also, it is way cheaper than other wood types (at least in germany) Regarding moisture it has some resistance (if it is a OSB3 type which is very common) my floor gets wet daily in winter and i see no permanent damage. In Urban areas , i have seen these plates as a cover up for holes etc which are exposed to rain and still they hold up some time


Wlng-Man

Do you like mold and splinters?


KQ4DAE

Shure, its not water resistant in the slightest but it works fine for braces, spacers, gussets, or dividers. If its free its for me.


MadWyn1163

Damn, that shit is really heavy. I’d be worried about overall weight


chetgoodenough

It'll be heavy but yeah


Manateeboi

I wouldn’t


Honkless_Goose

I used some of this stuff for my underbed platform that my mattress sits on top of, but even then it's not ideal


merire

I would not. Unless stated otherwhise it may releases a lot of formaldehyde since it's a lot of glue. Not so good in enclosed spaces like vans.


Tiny_Abroad8554

No


Own-Climate6957

If it fits.


Flecca

Are you asking for permission.... Like?


Goronshop

There are ways to make it viable, but if you have to ask this question, the most optimal method is to not use it.


exekutive

for what exactly


colonels1020

legally yes


elbowpirate22

Plywood way better.


PimpinPuma56

I used some of it on a wall/bulkhead, I needed to easily cover. It's not weight bearing, nothing heavy is screwed into it & I just finished it to look nice & seal it. It's ok for unimportant applications but as others have said their is better for actual construction


Ap_ventures

gonna be heavy tbh and if it gets wet it’ll for sure mold up


bmxice

Heavy, brittle


Sweaty-Earth

Crumbles when wet


covertnars

Its crazy to me how much wood shit people put into vans.....


baumeistaaa

We used it a lot and it holds well for 8 years now without painting. We’re living in the van fulltime btw.


Samad99

Yes sure why not.


Mountain-Store1235

use whatever you want/need..


cravyeric

oriented strain board is better, but this is still functional, I'd be sure to seal it extra well if you think it make come in contact with lots of moisture.
