I was hoping to attach cubbords to the framing as well. I will try to check tomorrow how heavy what I have so far is. And it is important that I keep the weight down because my HF trailer is only rated to 1195 lbs.
Ok, im not quite certain what your doing yet, sorry you mentioned poor mans fibreglass in the first post. Are you removing the plywood and doing foam inbetween the framing and then canvassing or are you gluing canvass to the plywood?
The hf trailer is rated to carry 1195 pounds correct? So 1450 pounds total with the frame included?
In the planning for my trip i weighed everything i planned to take like the air matress, food, coolers etc... that you dont count in the trailer weight and it came to quite a bit but there is 4 of us.
I also googled weights of sheets of plywood and 2x4's and so on to help me calculate what the trailer would weigh in the end. But for me unexpected stuff happened, it became heavier (i didnt factor in 80 pounds of paint...) so we just have to take less.
For you storing stuff like clothes and food and coolers in the van is probably an option. It isnt for me
