Easy for the young lady to say, she's being paid for reading the script. Rather
hear from folks such as yourself and any others about how well it works. As for
the prevention of mold ... reckon we'll have to wait till someone rips their foam
out to find out, won't we?

But would they work as "fenders" for the TD's?

Bob,

Sure. Or even tiny CTs. Just saw off the neck, cut the sound box in half, fiberglass and epoxy inside and out. Voila.

Hank,

Since it's waterproof, polyurethane insulation/glue and glued to the skin, there's no condensation. If it resides in Kawaii, Key West, the Olympic Peninsula of WA, the Darien Gap of Panama or the U.P. of Michigan the humidity is going to rot the wood paneling with or without the insulation.

:lol: :lol:

Bob,

Where is "there?" It's anywhere there's camping. Gotta be some close to where you live, yeah?

Oh there is, but you know the grass is always greener somewhere else!

:lol: :ilovecamp:

PS The far away places can be very intriguing and tempting!

But the gas may be more expensive somewhere else. :D

Please feel free to join us out here in the redwood wilderness paradise on the Left Coast above California. :D

Beds go on top. Enough power for real AC and an electric water heater for a hot tub.

When I saw the first photo, I was thinking it was from OTTCT.
Sorry Jerry.
