On the other side there is some kind of wood covering that doesn't go down to the floor. Is that the 1/2" plywood? It looks quite a bit thinner to me than the 3/4" studs, but maybe it's the lighting.
Whatever the case, what they are doing now with insetting 3/4" plywood makes more sense to me because if they were covering the studs with 1/2" plywood then they would have had to custom change the cabinetry to make up for the extra 1/2" per reinforced wall. By putting plywood inside the stud volume, they can keep standard dimensions throughout the trailer. I'm curious how they fasten the plywood to the studs now. Perhaps glue?

Hi . In my 2 pictures the thin ply over the studs is my reinforcement . It is not 1/2 . You can see the ply does not go all the way . It is just on top of my framing . Much better how they are doing it now . I just got what I got , but it has worked . Pat
