Well, after lurking in the forums for a year or so, I am ready to take the plunge. My wife is used to a 26' luxury motel on wheels, so it has taken quite a bit of convincing. The plan has gone from a standard 5x8 Generic Benroy to a 2 person standy based off of the sketchup by danlott seen here viewtopic.php?f=62&t=49166. I have streched it out 18" to accomodate a queen sized bed, more storage, and a larger galley. Gata keep the queen happy after all!
My build begins with an old boat trailer that I converted to a quad trailer. Plan on working on it this weekend, stripping off the old deck, and cutting it down to size.
I have been bouncing between using 3/4" ACX and insulated sandwich side walls. At first I thought 3/4" ply would be the easiest choice, but after considering splicing plywood I am thinking that the sandwich walls may be easier (and lighter) in the long run.
I am humbled by some of the beautiful builds on the forum, but we are hoping to be camping by summer, and since my wife is committed, but not convinced this will be a budget build.
Anyone have any thoughts between the two styles of walls? I live in Western Washington, so it is wet, but mild climate, and we are really only 1.5 season campers (late spring to early fall), so I figgure either design would be warm enough.
I also want to thank the entire forum for being so helpful so far. What a gold mine of information!
