Don't remember this being posted before.
This teardrop is less than 300# and they use chicken feathers?
:D Danny

2 models = the 'feathered' one - T300 starts at $10,000.00 / next model ^^UP^^ starts at $30,000.00 :thinking: :frightened: being from here, the 'wet' side of the PNW mountain range, I'd be afraid of getting the 'feather's' water-soaked...... And Danny, after seeing -your- trailer build up close = I would offer YOU the $30,000++ (if I had it to spend) for YOU to build me one like yours instead!!!!! :thumbsup:

I have read about mixing chicken feathers with resin in the past. From memory, it sounds like they use the feathers like a fiberglass chopper gun cuts up fibers and is sprayed onto a mold. It should also provide a small amount of "insulation" factor.

as far 'insulating' value using 'chicken feathers'??, looking at their trailer build picture's - this wouldn't = much - being "so much" canvas is being used for walls = the trailer looks to be more of a 'cross' between a tent & teardrop trailer ....................... :thinking:164813 (=, just my opinion.......)
