i was thinking of concrete to fill the space between the ribs and the sheetmetal walls in my van, but the thought of bodywork down the road would be a pain! why not just sand ? mabe not as ridged, but would it work? idea: screw 1/2" plywood to ribs the fill the gap 1 1/2"-3" at points

quite a few people have done that. especially in big walls. I've seen other people do it in no-wall, and even street boxes. i would suggest baking the sand or putting it in a metal bin over a fire or coals to make sure that it's free of moisture and won't cause mold, rotting, or weakening of the wood/mdf

yeah, it settles more and more with vibration. So mixing sand and fiberglass resin is much better. Problem is that its ultra permanent.
