Thrifty Alternatives ..Building Foam Campers

Would it be worth it to you to give it one coat of paint with that mould resistant stuff?

Dan , even the wife asked me that , and the only things I could think of was, the best way ,was to put that paint on top of everything else ... where the mold happens ...
And it’s white , which would make the trailer only look even more like all the horse trailers in the neighborhood ... might as well hang a tail out the back window ..... hahahaha

Ever thought of a side Galley ??? Just if , you build your trailer wide enough to sleep sideways , then all of a sudden the kitchen can be in the usual side, towards the rear position as seen in “those commercial campers” And what about the cabinetry built with a “pass through” feature , where you open a door on the outside ( awning style ) and there’s the Galley ( and the shade ) , all available from the outside too... Leaving room for side door access on the one side , the Galley door (s) on the other, and even an unobscured back entrance for maybe hauling long things ( the foamie yak’ ? ) , better utilizing the space ... or do we need a drawing ???

Still trying to think “out the box” as we’ve seen so many Very successful variations already ...

If you just can’t “visualize" it , think “Taco Truck “ ...

You're so good at drawing sketches, why don't you humor us?

[GPW]

No time anymore for promoting ideas that aren’t well received... testing the waters first ...

Thought about a galley kitchen for a rear door entry. Galley on the right toilet and clothes on the left. Winter Warrior.

I think I can roughly visualize it. I like your thinking outside of traditional box. I also think that seagull door style (i.e. hinge is horizontal and on top of the door, not on the side) in a small size trailer has the advantage of protecting from rain when entering and leaving the camper. Now... if a passenger side door is made wider enough to be a rigid awning, then the slide out kitchen can be also located under that awning. How does it sound? Can you visualize such concept, GPW? Something like 2017 taxa tigermoth trailer https://youtu.be/xWAu5eMVpdc?t=106, but with the slide out kitchen in the back and sliding out under the awning..

Big hatches with no screens = lotsa bugs.....

[GPW]

Open back Galleys suffer the same thing ... bugs are everywhere !!! ... In fact , my trailer is so tight it whistles when I close the door , yet hundreds of lady bugs ,spiders, lizards ,ants, and a frog somehow managed to get inside past screens and door seals ... (???)

[ghcoe]

I guess that means we will have to shrink wrap the whole trailer for storage.....

[GPW]

That may be one way to keep the little critters out over the winter ... Your statement made me think of using one of those magnetic screen doors as a hatch opening , accessable , but yet helping keep the bugs out ... "as seen on TV” ... Just an idea anyway ... something else to think about ...

[GPW]

Apologies , I couldn’t resist ...

[alchemist77]

Thinking of a standie with passthrough kitchen, as long as the cool drinks are reachable from a seated position inside or out!
