Checking in from Michigan

Hello, everyone!
I saw a very unique foam teardrop camper at the Redbud Outdoor National motocross race over the 4th of July and I got to talking to the guy and he suggested this place and some other sites to get some ideas. He was from Arizona is all I know about the guy.
I’m a woodworker/carpenter by trade so I was researching making one out of wood, but now I’m open to all ideas after seeing how nice it was.

Welcome to the forum!



Me? I'm a wood guy.

But I use plenty of foam board.

Welcome! LP or UP? I'm in the Iron Mtn area.

Woodworking is in my blood too. My first TD was a Woodie and it's still going strong. My son and I built our first Foamie a couple years ago. Never weighed it but I bet its easily under 900#.

I'm about halfway into a solo TD for myself. A 4x8 foamie with one door on the curb side and an egress window on the road side. I'm hoping for under 600# but we'll see. It's Galley will have a 35L fridge, a simple propane single burner stove, a minimum of dishes and utensils (enough to do dishes once/day) and a Bluetooth amp and stereo speakers. In the cabin will be a twin memory foam mattress, ventilation fans (4), two more speakers, USBs for charging electronics, a footboard cabinet and sideboard cabinet and a reading and a ceiling light.

I entertain my woodworking desires with cabinets, custom built in speaker enclosures, switch and light bases and kitchen trays/storage. I've found that the basic structure goes together fairly quickly, getting you to the woodworking bits faster!
