I realize this does not count but I have been working on my foamie for nearly 4 years. It was supposed to be a retirement project, only I failed to retire so far. That really cuts into the foamie construction efforts.
I got to thinking about this some time in the dim past. We rented a sparsely equiped teardrop trailer for a trip up the north California coast. It was a nice trip. I mostly had done backpacking camping before then. I started to build my own trailer. My goal was to build something more comfortable than tent camping. I wanted minimal not the RV route.
I now have welded up the chassis and assembled the floor. I got Iowa plates. The guy at the county office did not even want to see the trailer. I was not surprised, there are a lot of home built farm trailers in this state. I went to the high school parking lot on a Sunday and practiced backing up. I still need to work on that!
It is way too cold to glue stuff in my garage now. By last fall, I had accumulated a lot of foam panels covered with canvas. I made some doors and got a good start on the hatch, so this spring things should go together fast I hope. I am running out of excuses!
My daughter has already hinted she would take it off my hands when I decide to make the next one.
Thanks to all for ideas and sharing.
