I'm always leery of 'Swiss army' appliances... limited space, sure, and limited duty. For your use it should be ok though. Would that count as your upgrade / prepping for the season? If your track record continues it should mean another year when the foamstreAm sits in your yard!

Ned , Fingers crossed eh ! These Foamies seem really good at not falling apart while waiting for intended purpose...
I already have a small toaster oven and coffee maker for the FS , we just thought this unit was “cute” .. wonder if anybody else had seen it ...

I was a HD in Akron, ohio about 3 hours ago. I looked for them, but did not see'em

Rusty , may be online ... It would be nice to see it in person to check it out ...

Now being “thrifty “ I looked around at a separate coffee maker , small toaster oven and electric frying pan , which I thought would be cheaper if bought separately , and that really didn’t play out ... so no real savings buying separately ...

Ned, It’s just getting to the time in my life when we can actually travel again ( aside from just EVAC) , The wife retiring soon helps ....

While priming some masonite today to paint on , we noticed the second coat really went a long way to filling in the texture ( rough side ) , the third coat a was very smooth … Maybe a little more priming would produce a nicer SMOOTHER finish on canvas too …

I.... I did it. Finally got to the end of the thread. So, here's my obligatory "where's my trophy?" message.

Won't clutter up the giant thread with build details, as I (maybe prematurely) started my own build thread as soon as I settled on a base trailer for my first super simple, super cheap, super light foamie test build. But I will say I enjoyed reading (and reading... and reading...) this post and hearing about all of the bears and dogs and windy bridges along the way.

Amanda, you are now officially one of the foamie family. I dub thee a "foamista", a foamie in the first degree... I do decree. (Blaring trumpets, flags waving... big cymbal crash!)

Well I have not camped in years it seems now. Still doing the horse thing with the granddaughter. But the Foamie is still out back and still holding up. Nothing, I mean literally nothing has been done to it and its still sound! We have been using it as storage for some of our saddles and other horse stuff.

Glad to hear everything is holding up …
