Painted Dacron looks possible too. Like airplanes.


I built a tube and fabric aircraft using Dacron fabric. The challenge in using it for a camper would be figuring out what adhesive would work with cork and not delaminate down the road. It's not like gluing cotton to wood with TB2.

Google "Stewart System" I'm looking at building a super light trailer with an aircraft like wood frame and Dacron covering.
