We just bought a horse trailer with a 4 foot short wall. I have been looking into converting the dressing room into a finished living quarters. How is the best way to frame up the walls and ceiling. I plan to insulate and wire it but the framing is stumping me since the roof curves down to the top of the walls. IT seems to either lose about 6 inches of head space or 4 inches of space per wall. any pictures would help.

Run your wood furring strips lengthwise like in pic1
Then use construction adhesive to attach the ceiling panels like in pic2
This will allow the ceiling panels to curve with the roof.
If you have cabinets on the sides like shown, you can hide a screw inside the cabinet to ensure the ceiling panels cannot flex downward.
