Headboard Walls and Ceiling
For the headboards of the bed area I cut cardboard templates to fit each side. I then cut 1/2 plywood and used L brackets with self drilling tapping screws to install. We covered the wood with quilt batting and heavy fabric from Joanne Fabrics.
For metal wall area we used the insulation tape to cover it and then covered with fabric attached with Velcro stuck to the metal and sewn to the fabric.
The ceiling is 1/4" plywood screwed in with self drilling and tapping screws. The screws are shorter than the depth of the rib so I would not accidentally put a hole in the roof. I built a box at the back attached to the rear bulkhead to hold that end of the ceiling up.
After I installed everything, I backed out each screws, added a few drops of Loctite and reinstalled them. My question and the answers about attaching the ceiling can be found here.
