Welp, I started my Foamer last week with the purchase of the HF 4x8 trailer. Got that assembled over the week. Not going to post a picture of that... everyone has seen what the trailer looks like.
Originally I was going with a 5x9 build, but have decided to simplify since this is my first attempt and stick with a 5x8. The one decision I have yet to make is to go 5 feet tall or stick with 4. The small added expense of an extra 2 sheets of foam to gain a bunch of head space that will be more comfy... heavily leaning in that direction. I want to be able to sit in this thing when its raining outside and not just lay around (going to use a tri-fold foam mattress that will allow for space). My next post should have my hand drawn idea of a plan, plus I should have the base of the trailer completed. That will be raising the floor bed with 2x4x5 cross members and 2 4x5 sheets laid on that and the bottom saturated in some kind of primer/sealer. I am considering adding a below floor box in the front to offset and added rear weight for 2-12v deep cycle batteries, its a strong maybe, since I can always house them in a front mounted box and keep it simple stupid. I also have a bunch of spare 6061 sheet from another project that has stalled, and will be building a duct for a small A/C that I can house outside and vent inside. Think of a portable A/C unit instead of venting hot air outside, it will vent cold air inside and remain outside. I hate working on small projects before the main project has gotten going, but I'm working with a lower back problem that keeps me in constant pain, so I have to balance what I can do with how the day is. Will keep this journal updated...
