I use .120 wall. It takes a lot of pressure to make it balloon. I've had this one up to 200 PSI and checked the frame with a caliper.

About moisture, I know that is is inevitable. Even with the best water traps, there will be moisture. So it is a concern, but I figure it isn't the most realistic one. I will probably die before it affects the frames structural integrity and causes a problem I would have to fix. That said, I am thankful to live in CA, and probably would not do this in a state that is known for rust issues. Such as the one the truck originally came from, as the original frame is pitted pretty badly.
