QUOTE: “ I hope GPW is right about canvas! “ ... Oh Gosh , what did I say now ???
I think instead of inventing new things , we should deal with what we have ( or can easily get ) and make it work ... jury’s still out on square PVC ( it’s available )
Using the mix on wood seals those pesky tubes...
Mike , as you’ve said all along , using GOOD materials and doing your BEST work always makes a superior product ... Same goes for a Foamie ... even more so since all the parts have to work together as ONE to be effective ... either canvas or foam alone is unimpressive , but put them together properly and you have a remarkable result .
JMHO, I really BELIEVE everyone should start with a Simple Foamie , foam and canvas with a bit of sealed wood around the door, just to experience how really Super it works as presented
With the door framing and possibly overhead ribs inside , it makes it Simple to build a serviceable and Practical camper trailer ... We’ve heard all the benefits already ... no use repeating that again (read the BIG thread) ...
Ps. We’ve even eliminated the idea of wood framing around windows now .... With proper fitting windows and that 3M marine sealant , our windows (FS) will have to be Attacked to remove them
... Less framing means less to have to waterproof , and less to rot ...
