A 12 ft. FEATHERLITE conversion

I loved this one and had it on my computer at work for my boss to see.

Maybe you just want to throw in the towel and send it off to be converted:

You can't believe to much of what Randy says ......

He claims to have worked 10 years & retired for life in his cheap rig.
No evidence how he did it ???????
Says everybody can do the same thing
Living on a few penny's per month ........


If everyone in America worked less then 10 years & retired for 60........years
We would have what's called paradise on earth = Exactly like Cuba
Is the perfect example in my mind...... Where no one works .....or owns anything

Then there would be 300 million RV's where Randy parks all by himself.

[Prem]

Yeah. In one video he says he worked as a cop and arrested 300 in five years.

Hey, maybe he was a lottery winner (smaller amount) not a Cuban wannabe. Or maybe his dad passed away and left him a chunk of change. Ex paying him alimony? He doesn't say. He did sell his CT and get a stock travel trailer though. That's way less stealthy and a whole lot heavier to tow .

Prem, Howdy;

When you foam the interior of your Feather, how will you trim off the excess
that extends past the ribs of your trailer without creating any voids or high spots?

Prem LOLROTF. cant believe you follow that guy too

I know for a fact he was a probation officer not a cop.....Then he says he was also a house flipper (( funny as hell since his trailer is really crap & someone built it for him))
I'd bet the SHIRT off my BACK..... he was collecting fake disability from his JOB...if you get my drift.....
I know he could not make any money flipping a few houses during his time - NOT with his lack of skills.
Much less save enough to support retirement.
I know he also got a big inheritance & now he is also collecting social security for the last 5-7 years.....
Then he really loves to bash people who believe in GOD.... and I heard thats because he had bad experience trying to become a preacher.

He leaves out all those little details........but lots of suckers fall for his JUNK !!
Its fun reading, just take it with a mountain of salt

Hank,
Last time I had to trim the stuff was on my big bus conversion, I used a long serrated-edge knife and a belt sander. Not recommended.
The mess was a sight to see.

I'd use the hot wire cutter now for vertical and overhead surfaces. 12 volt DC. It reseals the open cells.

But there's also another method. IF you spray the foam in small amounts in small areas using a waxed or greased form (silicon mold release), you don't have excess to remove when it sets up. As the foam expands against the form, it "grows" out instead of up, filling more volume that you want insulated. I used this method to insulate my teardrop trailer's metal floor. I used 2-part liquid foam, poured it in on a really hot day, quickly slapped the pre-cut plywood floor over it and screwed it down. I had drilled some holes in the floor for pressure relief if I got too much expansion. Good thing! It dripped on the ground (dirt so I wouldn't damage my concrete parking area) AND filled the floor spaces uniformly. It almost instantly had expanded above the 1 1/2 inch limit when I pressed the plywood down on it!

You can experience the almost same thing on a tiny scale with Gorilla glue on a really hot day.

OTTCT,

He talks like a tent revival preacher. But now he preaches Walden Pond by Henry David Thoreau.

Slab City, CA awaits him. Lots of probation violators camped out there.

Ever notice that his Featherlite (same model as mine) has no windows, just tiny little vents up high. That's what the inside of a jail cell has! (Plus, he wrote that he was paranoid about getting busted for parking overnight on commercial property.)

I don't follow him. I just know too much about him...now...thanks to YOU.

Hey, AZ Desert Rat,

This is a really good photo: http://www.tnttt.com/gallery/image.php?mode=medium&album_id=3168&image_id=116571

Did you plan the angle to make it look like there's a Saguaro cactus growing out of your roof vent?

Like your trailer and tow vehicle!

Where in AZ is that?

[Prem]

Woohoo! I just scored two more of these solar panels for less than I paid for the two that are on top of my trailer. They are unbreakable, a major plus.

[Prem]

Not mine.

When life was really hard and homemade trailers were homes to escape the Dust Bowl and move to agricultural land in fertile, irrigated, central California:
