Use Decorative Ply, this is what is used in motorhomes and caravans, it is 6mm thick and has a finished surface to one side, you can pick it up for a bout £6 per sheet for an 8 x 4 as most caravan manufacturers change their designs every two or three years and sell of surplus board.

Don't like to plug my gaffers firm, but we have plenty in stock at £6 a shot and as much free plain ply as you can load in your van (it is all used) www.leedsleisurevehicles.com
