Quick Down and Foamie
Posted: Sun Mar 11, 2018 5:20 pm
So I've read a lot about TD. Then stumbled upon foamies. I struggled with I want a smooth exterior. But before building anything I told myself well that's just dumb. Whats really important.
My list was:
1.) Big enough for a Queen.
2.) Light enough to be towed by anything (750 loaded).
3.) Galley. (I like the idea of a place to sleep and a kitchen I'm not putting up and tearing down constantly.
4.) 12v lights and fan and coffee maker. Other than that I don't need power.
So the 2nd one landed me here. I was looking at the Benroy but have heard I may want to curve the whole top to help shed water.
My questions I don't think are very many.
I know the TBII water mix. I know canvas and foam are your core building materials.
Really my must knows are well what are the must knows? I started to read the 450+ post thrifty thread but I'll be honest. I have adhd and all the side shoots and comments make it hard for me to get far in it.
Is there a build or two that really show what I'll need to make what I need? I am planning on using CNC and waterjet technology since I have access to both (I work at an OEM we have all sorts of fun tools).
I know most build the floors the same as a traditional td. I'm thinking inserts of wood for hard fastening points. Door, window, fan, roof, galley.
Any good galley foamie examples? Best attachment to the floor example? Please help point me in the right direction.
I read through some traditional builds and one foamie build. (Foamie the First).
