Dave why would you rip the ply out ?

The ply save the internal panneling from getting damaged. I prefer ply on the floor as well as I had that plastic spray stuff put on the floor in one of my last vans which I found slippery, with the ply I found that a little water would just soak into it, it's not like the van gets flooded with water everyday. Well mine didn't anyway lol !!! 👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Unnecessary weight
When it gets wet it's going to suck the moisture up.
Handy on the walls for screwing bits to but otherwise I can't see the point.

James has a wood fetish anyway so is bound to add a load more extra weight to that ply too. 

i have done the same to my van a couple weeks ago, it has a nice rubber mat in its place

Saying that Dave I nearly overfilled but caught in in time. 
No not left cap off as I unscrew it and flap it back as its joined on a hinge !!! 👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧😳
