Abstract
A cargo trailer having thin walls wherein the thin walls consist of a plurality of adjacent overlapping outer plates, a plurality of regularly spaced thin posts and a plurality of thin liner panels between and overlapping the posts. The liner panels are u-shaped plates with flanges on each edge containing holes of equal or alternating diameters. When the liner panels have holes of alternating diameters, the liner panels are fastened to the thin posts and outer plates only by the fasteners in the smaller of the alternating diameter holes, such that the liner can be removed without disassembling the outer plate and post components of the wall. The horizontal distance between the holes in the liner panels is less than the horizontal distance between the holes in the outer plates resulting in the liner panel being stretched when assembled.
