First timer foamie Build "Cordillera"

Hey folks! I just thought I'd post up some photos of the foamie I built last may. We've named her "Cordillera". I spent quite a bit of time on this website learning from all of you before I began. So I figured I should show the results, in case it might help somebody else get going. The project was mostly really fun. There were a few moments of doubt and a few more of frustration (canvassing the inside of the trailer :? )
We've driven it a few thousand miles and been up and down some hairy mountain passes (one in a snow storm) and so far, we absolutely love it. I'm happy to answer any questions. And am absolutely open to ideas on how to improve. Everywhere I go I have people asking me if I can build them a foamie. I just can't imagine how much I'd have to charge them to make it make any sense:)

Very nice. I especially like the paint. My foamie is the same shape but with the galley in front. The back is open for hauling machines when needed.

I have a single back door and the wind blows it around unless tied down. I was thinking of going with double doors like yours or a lift up hatch. Any advice?

Thanks!! my wife did the awesome paint job:) I'll take some closeup photos of the doors and post them up. I'm very happy with the double door design. It was the part of the project that took the most figuring. I was concerned about water infiltration. but so far, so good.

I love the "When Pigs Fly" flying pig on the front. Brings back some fond memories from earlier in my career.

Enjoy! Please follow up with many gratuitous campsite photos. Foamies are best viewed in the wild.
