Row, you’re an old hand at this foam business , so we’d expect Foamie building would be “Elementary” to someone with your experience!!! :thumbsup: 8)

Yes, two rooms and a galley below, and a cabin on the roof that comes apart in sections for travel. The upper walls are stored in the forward cabin for travel.

With separate rooms, it gives you a chance to use Arches for even more strength ... just an idea ... :thinking:

No time for pics, big camping trip starts in mere hours...
I've been putting in long hours each night to get done. Sadly the upper cabin won't happen this year, but that gives me more time to brainstorm a few details.
Thanks for everyone who voted on instructables, Sawfish won a prize in one contest, and is still in another one. The page hits for that i'ble are higher than I ever expected.
I changed the tears name as I think the "wing back" galley hatch looks like the wings on Mercury's feet (the Greek mythology Mercury)
