Just about the time I mostly finished Conch Fritter, I already knew I would build another one. Bigger, Lighter, and Quirky. The first one was fun, very educational and became quite the eye pleaser. However, I made some errors and the Fritter has a bit of rot and mostly I messed up on not correctly sealing the cedar and using crappy Lowes plywood. I realized that I had every single thing (almost) that becomes the expensive parts of any camper and all I needed to do was build a new body. And thus Conch Fritter will return to the small camper nirvana and from its ashes will come
Streamliner (or something along those lines)
I'll disassemble the Fritter's body, keeping all the goodies I can, which is alot. The new build will be as much foam board as I can do. I am now totally sold on foam, Conch Fritter was maybe 80%. I want this one to be in the 95%+ range. It is going to be a high-low design and the recent thread on the 1950s Odyssey camper is just about exactly what I want to build,mostly.
I want it to be 10-12' long. 5-6' wide. Closed the body should be no more than 30" tall. I envision the camper to open up to a 6' height. Walls will probably be in slide up style, 3 sections. Since it will be foam, it will be very, very light, so no mechanical lifting mechanisms. I want it to look like a 1950's / Deco style space ship when both open and closed. I want wild color schemes (maybe). It will be PMF over XPS. Oh, and it will be removable. Some fun now.
Best of all, Regina said I could do it!
