I have a discussion going in the "foamie" section. I am looking at building a 7 by 12 foamie with a lift up roof, only 3' high when down then lifts up to 6'-6" with tent sides.
Instead of building a trailer then putting a floor on it what if the floor and trailer were one. Sort of a pico light design.
thinking 2 main frame members down each side that the springs would attach to, then they curve in and meet at the hitch,like some boat trailers do. Across the back it would have a cross member that goes right out to the 7' wide and act as a bumper as well. No cross members between the hitch and back.
The floor would have "joists" every 16", metal bent into an Z-shape out of heavy gauge. Some of these would attach to the main frame rails.
Floor would be canvass, thin plywood, 2" foam and Z-joists every 16inches, then thin plywood on top and linoleum, or just painted.
I am looking at making it as light as possible because it seems for many the trailer is really heavy.
Does this sound like a good plan, or any other suggestions.
