anyone have experience with this material?

i'm sure it is not moderately priced, but may just be the right tool for the job.

Looks like it is already being used to make small'ish trailers. Anyone know the company?

this unit - very Bowlus looking - is nicer than the new airstream!

That is a Bonair Oxygen, made in Quebec. The company went bust and there's not many websites about them. Here is:
- a press release with a couple of interior photos;
- the Oxygen photo album at FiberglassRV.com.

There are better pictures somewhere, but I can't find them at present.

This may not be a good illustration of the use of this core material since there are reports that these trailers had structural problems, but I have no idea if that's correct - for some folks 'different' is a structural problem!
