Thanks, K...

Like I told the other fellow. if I can do it, you can too.

Cheers!

With my wife's help, I got the tongue box on today:



It will have the battery inside...



I painted the fenders a bunch of different colors over the last few days and didn't like the look with any of them. Finally hit me...FLAT BLACK! And flat black, they shall stay!

Also still trying to work out the cargo area layout. Will be taking an instant up 2 room shower tent. The big giant box I designed for, may be too dang big (too heavy to haul around at the campsite). So, am trying multiple smaller cargo boxes. Might also make a spare tire carrier for the rear 2 inch receiver....



Cheers all!!

Wow! What a great job you did! I can only hope my Foamie turns out half as good!

Thanks, burnsk!

Just take your time, don't rush things. There are lots of things that will only take you an hour or two to do, but you won't know if you did it right, for 24 hours!

Patience is key!

Send me a link when you start your build, please!

Cheers!

Had lots of foam left over, as the 45 degree from cut makes you buy a 5th 4x8 panel, and I messed up the first cut on the drivers side window, and had to buy a sixth panel and re-do...

So, make a little "3 cans of soda vault" with the "Foamie For One" profile as a lid handle:







The Payload:



It will be up in the Tow Vehicle, for a cold soda on long drives.

Still have lots of foam....so thinking of other "accessories" to make....

Cheers, all!!

The door edge...you have to mount your door a little higher in a foamie (for foam strength). I found getting out a little rough on the back of my legs...going over this bottom edge. First tried a folded towel on the edge, and helps but does not stay put.

A dollar store pool noodle...cut it to length and make a split in it...place over the edge when exiting and no more discomfort:



Cheers!

Nice thing about the foamie is that it will heal itself....

It's yet another big advantage of a Foamie!! I dented it with my knee rolling over to apply the Elastomeric coating on the bottom (looked like a baseball hit it). I cannot find the dent now! So can testify that it does indeed heal itself!

Also been sleeping in it, via camp backyard. Sleeps great! Just my body heat seems to warm it up. Been surprised to open the door in the mornings to find crisp COLD breezy air and frozen dew on the camper exterior, when I was so warm and cozy inside. Have seen that rain runs off it, like a duck.

My inside walls that I worked so hard on, to eliminate the printing....are incredibly even and smooth, they look like drywall. The soft brown interior color, the indirect lighting, Carnegie Hall acoustics, coupled with the Harman Kardon Bluetooth speaker...

I am really loving it! It has exceeded my own expectations.

The vertical window, on the drivers' side is perfectly placed for stargazing.

The rear wall vertical window that is covered by the overhang, has also proven itself. On a rainy night where I could not open the other windows, the covered window could be opened wide...w/o rain splatter coming in.


Cheers, all...!
