Goos, that video pretty much says it all …
![Surprised :o](./images/smilies/econ_oh.gif)
And sadly , it’s ALL TRUE !!!
![Frightened :frightened:](./images/smilies/frightened.gif)
We’ve been there …. and it wasn’t Nice !!! I’ve told that sad story too many times already …
![DUH :duh:](./images/smilies/duh 3d.gif)
I think I’d have had more FUN losing $20K in Vegas than on a POS trailer that I got to use once ( where we found out how uncomfortable and impractical it really was ) … grrrrrr !!!
Thing everybody forgets about Foam , if you think it's not strong enough , use several thicknesses in that area … the old saying
“ twice as Thick is EIGHT times as strong …especially when there’s a skin on both sides… Foam is still the lightest ( cheapest ) material , and lightweight means low mass , less acceleration , and less bouncing around the road like a heavier trailer with more rebound. Good design replaces a lot of heavy bracing … I’ve always thought the Foamie trailer is the “Thinking man’s ( or womens ) trailer “ … Where thinking and planning replaces spending a LOT of money on some Inferior product that will quickly fail…
Just sayin’ … My Foamie has been Four years now living Outside in the weather , and it's still in fine shape( no rot , no damage ) ….

And so far that trailer and everything in it (including the new generator) , has cost me less than $2400 clams … ( not bad ) ~10% of what the jayco POS trailer costs ...
In reality , the only real problem with Foamies is getting people to believe it will work , ( trailer will blow apart the first time I get it on the highway) although anyone reading the Foamie section here for a while will see they’ve travelled hundreds of thousands of miles now with basically no problems at all … and even poor Catherine our only real problem example , whose trailer got blown over by a strong NM cross wind , the trailer only suffered minor damage really, The metal trailer mostly ( bent coupler and front , the cabin had a tiny scratch) …compared to what happens when a conventional trailer blows over …
