Trailer wall liner?

I bought a legend trailer that was used and previous owner insulated it and lined all walls and ceiling with 3/8 cdx plywood and it looks good and lot stronger than Lauan but afraid won't be easy to clean. Lots of trailers have white walls woundering what that is they used. Menards sells frp board u full spread glue on wall and apply it but I'm afraid to heavy then anybody have a light wieght wall liner that's easy to clean ?
 
They use lauan that has a vinyl sticker over it. I did my trailer with frp and it turned out great. I use 1/4 plywood then glued it on. It is very strong. Don't ever have to worry about putting a hole in it. I thought about all aluminum sheeting but dents to easy. Only down fall is the weight, price and labor to install it. When I do another trailer it will have frp on the walls.
 
Yeah labor and cost is nothing really to me cus I'm a builder and have worked with frp before just my thought was the wieght factor cus 3/8 ply is 30lb a sheet or so and frp is another 30 and glue is minimal but being full spread does add up I'm just woundering if any other choices if was at bare studs it would be different story but the 3/8 is up from last owner and was looking for maybe another option so far planning on painting for this season cus my new sks is coming and want to keep cost down this yr
 
I've seen a few painted with a white gloss and something like diamond plate or line-x at the bottom 12" where the ski's rub. That's the only white I have ever seen in person. The FRP sounds like a solid idea.
 
I did my last one with a product with the texture of FRP, but it was applied to a plastic hollow core.
Very lightweight.
It was expensive, but a perfect application.
 
If you all ready have plywood up you could cover that with Powder coated aluminum sheeting. Thin, lightweight, easy to clean, any color you want. Screw it on with some color matched pan head screws. Eric
 
Wound up so far painting the inside with the primer I used to lose wood grain (2 coats) then 2 coats of bright white exterior paint. Will see how that lasts otherwise i will go over it next summer also new lights, wires and stained the floor lol 130 bucks and it is a million times better
 
Just some 12v cheapy double sides bulbed ones with led lights in em to keep amps down and enough light to load. Wiring off deep cycle battery and witting truck to charge battery when on like our power tilt equipment trailer ( easy to do cus has factory 7way on trailer and truck lol) trailer had like 18 guage wire to 21" single bulb 12v florecents 4 of em off a battery at 1.19 amps a piece new bulbs and lights will come in at .50 or less for more light plus I re wired to 14 guage wire, That's how this whole project started one light didn't work took down to solder it and found cheap wires lol
 
Yeah since I finished added another light in center of each side riding buddy convinced me never can have enought light. Also 6 double lights so 12 bulbs total with them replacement led bulbs for standard lights just over one amp draw so will last long time on deep cycle boat battery ;). Also bought wheel kit for skis not to scratch surface of floor and re did stone guard 24" high didn't like original at 16"
