My interest in joining the forum is: To build a 4X8 Foamie on my HF 40x48" (12 inch tire) Trailer which I will enlarge/ lengthen axle, etc. I live in Tallahassee, FL. I have read the first 56 pages and last 10 pages of : Re: Thrifty Alternatives ..Building Foam Campers. over the last 2 weeks, and a few other threads. I want to get this Puppy built!! My friend who is a welder/auto body man/ flute maker/ etc. is starting his traditional TD build (using Ebay plans) starting in a couple days. Similar to: (Image won't paste)5x8' with 2 ft radius front, 4 Ft radius rear.
I want to incorporate as much Foam/TB2, skin as I can, to keep it lite and KISS, and build mine along with his. I like the plan that GPW has on about page 40 : Squared off instead of rounded off, -- But I definately want a rear hatch. Was this GPW plan put into earthly form? Where is the build thread? Is this squared off method as strong as with radius front/back? Can I search the site for specific issues I want to address? I'm amazed that I never say this site before now...
I like the ideas in
