Stand-Up Foamie Camper Build Modifications

[RoboTrak]

Note: This is a continuation of Mike's 10' Foamie http://tnttt.com/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=44091

And a continuation of Tac422's final build
The Big Pink, Foamie !

Mike's photos on the site have been lost and dont show up anymore, Tac422 his photos are still there. And now mine will be added as the build continues.

I bought this recently within the last month and it was setup for 2-people to sleep, make toast and have some drinks. Im a single camper for now so my goals are different. I have modified the bed and have now added a place for a chair and table or place for two people and a table. Everything else will stay stock for now till I figure out other rainy stormy day inside changes I need to make.

Here are some photos to get started. I want to chat as frequently as possible to keep this chat alive, ive taked to tac422 and have glimpsed into how it was made. I cant imagine there are not questions as not many stand-up foam builds exist.

Cant wait for your questions and I look forward to hearing any improvements or changed people may recommend

Just to add context even though you see wood the walls and roof is XPS 2in thick foam.

I'm excited to see all the changes !
Please continue to document them here.

At one point, I thought about extending the dropped floor towards the back...
Best Regards,

(Who's having a little bit of sellers remorse, but very happy to see someone enjoying it)

Hey guys. Is that going to be like a mobile travel office as well? I am thinking of adding such features to my build to be able travel and work remotely at the same time. Tac422, are you building or getting something new or?

Not a mobile travel office but definitely a multifunctional space, if im stuck inside at a rest stop for lunch due to inclement weather, I could get some office work done. I just bought a portable sink the Mighty Sink and now gotta figure out a good place for it to be setup at for parking mode. New photos coming soon.
New multi-battery system is almost complete so that will be exciting.

Any update?

My inaugural 1st camp is in a week. I'll post photos of the official setup either the evening of the 30th or the morning of the 1st of july.

But ill give some teasers of what ive been up to. If you look at the items in the pics you can gather some new additions @tac422 that have been added.
- So I added a fine mesh screen behind the exhaust fan to keep bugs from getting back in when fan is not running.
- switched out the pop-up shelter for a octagon screen room
- green waterproof case is my diy kitchen kit
- the Mighty Sink fits perfectly between the the bed area in the back. Just have to figure out bungee anchor system when I hit brakes. (Learned screws do nothing alone)
- the inside main view of camper, travel mode, yes not glamorous. But for now it shows also what ive added/ taken away.
Like ive shown and said the setup is for single person camping. But I can entertain 2 or 3 inside with my adjustable table and now added stool.
- I added an outside sae 12v outlet for a 50w solar panel that rests on roof during storage so the exhaust fan can stay running. Future plans for an automated Humidity control system. The wiring comes up just inside by the door where the electrics are located. And connects into my seperate 30ah 12v lifepo4 battery box with its own solar charger.
- also in the main photo not able to be seen is my ecoflow river pro 2 power station that is next to fridge on floor by main outlets. Its running in-between everything in case power is an issue at parks I visit or I want to boondock. And it allows to be a buffer to keep pedestals from tripping.
- not in photo and I dont want them in any lol are my horrible looking blackout magnetic reflectix.

When I get fully setup I will take video for family and photos to share on here. Im excited to finally be able to put it all together. I still haven't even staged it yet so it truly will be a first for me!

Unfortunately not all first camps go according to plan. Didnt even make it a full 24hrs before I was being helped by family to be packed up and headed out. I will just say the camper was great. I brought way to many activities for a weeks worth of time and 100F with 70-80% Humidity was not originally in the plan. I saw a racoon fighting a cracked out mountain man in the woods over a basket of fish lol joking, and got a wobble and got too close to the shoulder and dumped it on my electric scooter and paid my road tax.......with my leg . I wont get into it but I will say 95% of the time I ride with gear and or good strong pants, prior motorcycle rider with enough crashes to know gear does help protect you. But at 3pm and 98F on asphalt in shorts.. Yup never doing that again.

CAMPER:
So camper filled with gear and the bike on front came in at 980lbs on axle and 150lbs on tongue. It tows very nicely especially over 250miles of all sorts of road types. I use a 2in drop receiver and a easy to install hitch tightener from e-trailer. The bed pic is my 26 in wide bed area. Its spacious and im a heavier guy. Still getting used to the window air-conditioner but found using it on low and at max setting it will bring down the humidity over time. I also use a 60w peltier style dehumidifier that was useful too.

I think one of the next ideas for me to figure out is some outside lockable storage bins that I could chain up to trailer. That would help with my extra gear. Any thoughts or ideas that wouldn't push my weight over the top would be appreciated. Gvwr is 1450lbs but I Definitely need to be still well under that id say what ever I had has to be less than 200lbs all in.

Looking forward to some good healing and i plan to do a proper mockup of the camper in a camp setup even if its just back at the storage lot when im back home.
