I had almost $3000 in my wood TD , 6’X 12’ ... problems quickly arose (plywood as usual, even stored in a shed ) , and we sold it for a big Loss ... :cry: I could have built two FoamStreams + for the price of the wooden one ... and both wouldn’t equal the weight of the plywood one ... :o
In all fairness and knowing what I know now , I could have fixed the ply problem with a simple canvas covering over it , but still would be stuck with all that weight , and the potential for rot elsewhere ... The FS is slightly bigger, much taller , and weighs less than half of the wooden one ... Tows MUCH easier too ... :thumbsup:

The wooden trailer seemed to attract ants too ... and to me it looked like they were eating the wood :shock: Little piles of blonde sawdust around the inside ... :thumbdown:

Nobody has gotten in the Foamies , apparently it’s not attractive (edible) to bugs ... 8)
There’s no place like Foam !
