I'm making some storage boxes for our camper that match the units it already has. What is the best way to attach a corner profile to the ply?

Cant help with the question sorry, but where did you get the corner profile from please?
Screws through the rear flange. Drill and debur the profile first. We've used this for years and works fine. Cheers, Ian
Thanks Ian, that's what I thought, but just wanted to make sure.
Next question, how do I attach the edging trim? Is it a tiny router bit to cut a slot? Or hammer it straight in?

You will need to cut a slot and knock in with a mallet type hammer. The supplier of the trim should have provided slot dimensions as trims are different. Cheers
Can you recommend a supplier for this trim please?

@Skyliner33 Nope it doesn’t just put 1mm shim behind the screw 
That would make it even worse as the 12mm ply is already 1mm too big@Skyliner33 Nope it doesn’t just put 1mm shim behind the screw
Ah thought you could get 10mm ply, well your could shave 1mm off then 
It’s for bathroom panelsWhy would they sell a trim like that for 11mm. Ply comes in 9mm or 12mm
So if you’re fitting a bathroom in the van then perfect.....
We have it made for is in large batches. How much do you need? Dm me. Cheers
because the bathroom wall panels for these are 11mmWhy would they sell a trim like that for 11mm. Ply comes in 9mm or 12mm

Ok plywood sheets from Wickes are sold at 12mm But they are in fact 11mm and I have used these sheets to make a day van. I used the External Corners from Screwfix for the corners of the units and the fit is perfect.
(note if you order these corners from Screwfix they are not in stock but sent to you direct from the supplier).
