A novel joint (144, 244, 344, 444, 544, 644, 744) is used to join panels (142a, 142b; 242a, 242b; 342a, 342b; 442a, 442b; 542a, 542b; 642a, 642b; 742a, 742b) of a trailer wall (24, 26, 28) together. Each panel is formed from an inner metal skin (148a, 148b; 248a, 248b; 348a, 348b, 448a, 448b; 548a, 548b; 648a, 648b; 748a, 748b), an outer metal skin (150a, 150b; 250a, 250b; 350a, 350b; 450a, 450b; 550a, 550b; 650a, 650b; 750a, 750b) and a plastic core member (146a, 146b; 246a, 246b; 346a, 346b; 446a, 446b; 546a, 546b; 646a, 646b; 746a, 746b) therebetween. At least a portion of the ends of the panels are spaced apart from each other to define a gap (164, 264, 364, 464, 565, 764) therebetween. A member (166, 266, 366, 466, 566, 666, 784) is attached to the inner skin of at least one of the panels and has a plurality of slots (168, 268, 368, 468, 568, 668, 792) provided therethrough which are aligned with the gap for attachment of items to the wall. Structure (158, 258, 358, 458, 558, 658, 758) is provided to join the panels together along the outer skins.
