I have a small and old cargo trailer built in the 70's that I plan to use, actually its just a frame. Haven't decided yet about the shape of the camper, teardrop squaredrop or something in between. It will be a foamie. Maybe with 4mm birch plywood interior, or maybe just used bed sheets.
This will be more like a therapy thing, I mean for me to relax and have fun building something and also include my oldest son (9y) so he may learn a thing or two. So, I will try not to stress and make it bombproof in every way possible. Nor will I spend large amounts of money on parts like custom doors, rather fabricate them my self.
The materials here in Finland are a lot different than in the states. We don't have much of what you use (glidden gripper, great stuff, 4x8 foam, dropcloth, hurricane hinge etc.), so trying to figure out what to use in stead. We have just one store here where I can get Titebond2, luckily its just 25 miles from here, but its expensive, like 60$ for the gallon jug. But I think its kind of fun to figure things out by myself and doing small experiments in the garage about what could work and what not.
Anyway, looking forward to the build.

But as I'm bilingual, a Swedish speaking Finn, its maybe easier for me to learn. Also I have an aunt in North Carolina, so I visited there quite often as a kid. I really love it there with the loud frogs in the trees at night and the warm and humid weather.
