KC , you’re absolutely right!!! Looks like I’ll never use the little one now . :( Silly to just keep it around when somebody else could be enjoying it ... :duh: Camo the frame ... Cool idea ... 8) I was thinking of going more earth colors this time , not too contrast-y... more Hunting colors ... The current brown and mint green looks more like a girl scout cookie ... the pink trailer only confirms it :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol:


The screws were evenly placed ... I was thinking about how You would do it ... ;) And what I’d hear if I didn’t do it that way ... :roll: :R :lol:

Re: “Pad” .... if I only had this in the 60’s .... :roll: 8) :lol: :lol: :lol:

Window ...? Could do that ! But I like the surreality of looking through the nose at the outside night sky ... like a slice of the nose was missing ... :o Or as they call here , an “optical delusion” ... :lol:

Thinking this material and it’s ease of use (and thriftiness) could be used as a wood replacement on a trailer ... maybe even a floor (SIP) foam and treated chipboard ? ... eliminating wood almost entirely on many areas ... :thinking:

Might not have long enough fibers.

It takes a second look to realize that isn't a window. You need to frame it properly. ;)

Here’s a picture of the wife testing out the cushions and seeing if her I Phone will work inside the trailer ... I guess that’s Important (to her) ... :roll:
She said the inside of the FS was “BIG” ...

That does look a lot larger now there are humans in there. Now you have space so you will have to fill it up.

:D

Randy , I’m sure the wife is already thinking of what else she can bring along :frightened: ... :roll: :lol:

It feels pretty Big inside , so much more than it seems on the outside ... TARDIS ! :o Sitting on the floor cushions like that it feels like being in a Blimp hanger ..

Now the wife is saying we have 9 months to get it ready before the next season ... Wondering how much more ready it could be ? ... License plate ...?

Well done GPW, and well earned. :beer:
I've followed this thread from the start (along with the Foamie phenom in general). Really love what you've done combining form, function and thriftiness. Simply awesome, spectacular, incredible and all the other superlatives that I can't think of right now. Just had to stop by and say that. Carry on, I look forward to your next creation, I know there will be more. Thanks for leading the way.

(back to lurking now)

Shaun, BIG Thanks !!! I was just trying to fill the need (comfortably) without spending the retirement ... or having to do a lot of maintenance with a vehicle that lives Outside ...

The wife keeps telling me how much she Loves the trailer ... I guess that’s a “Mission Accomplished !!! “ :lol: :lol: :lol:
Ps. I have it up on the jacks now ... very stable inside ... :D (used HF aluminum jacks , no rusting ... easy to use ) ... but not that Thrifty .... maybe in the long run ... :roll:

Very nice ... congratulations and WELL DONE. I think that the moonscape looks like we are seeing the night sky over a garden wall. I don't believe that I would change it. It's quite the illusion judging by the pictures that I've seen.

I have to vote for a window frame also. I think that would look cool. But its yours and it is still (without) a window frame its fantastic. If I had time and more money I would almost start my second build.
