Yeah, this string is one of the 'forgotten' gems of the TnTTT forum, I remember following his progress in real time -- very interesting & inspiring! Several years after it appeared, the "Foamies" thread was started, but I failed to find it giving much credit to how
pioneering & innovative the BUB was, see my comments here:
https://www.tnttt.com/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=66401&p=1175539#p1175462From what I saw, prior to BUB, posts here seemed to imply that building a fiberglass trailer involved using molds to form fiberglass components.
BUB did not use any mold, almost no wood, and was a pop up too! Years later, PMF made this type of construction far more affordable.
As I recall raising BUBs top was a problem (no lift mech and binding with uneven lift??). I believe BUB was sold (to Bonnie??).
