Re: Shelf/Area at the end of the van

After seeing all the folds with shelves at the end of vans at the weekend I have decided I would like to make up one out of plywood to use at the Revival.
Obviously I'll measure up the length and width depending on the foot well and the distance between the sides - but can anyone recommend the minimum thickness of ply I can get ( to keep the weight down) without it having a tendency to bow in the middle?
This way I will be able to cook inside in comfort without worrying about top heavy tables and winds blowing a gale and threatening to rip my awning off! (However - all in all an excellent weekend and great to finally meet those who were able to make it...)
Hugs to all (again!) - Jenny
