Our foamie made it into a newspaper!

Postby dancam » Tue Aug 20, 2019 9:21 am

The other day I had a half hour interview with a calgary newspaper and he wrote an article about the Cross-Canada trip we did last summer in our foamie camper! It should be in print at the end of the week, but here is the online article:

It is mostly about the car but he did his best to describe the trailer even though i am pretty sure he thought the whole foamie idea was nuts. :)

yeah, its pretty cool how much interest the trailer gets!
I had to mention this forum when talking to the reporter, there is no way I would have been able to do it all without this place! :)

Here is a photo of the printed version :) the paper claims to have a half a million readers per day which is a pretty big deal in Canada :)
3 people showed up to the meet to see the cars because of the story -the car meet was at a fairly remote location- and 2 people stopped to talk to us at a gas station on the way there because they reconized the trailer.
