Mine came home white with black bug details.

Posted: Wed Sep 09, 2015 8:37 amCatherine , we’ve just begun to see those sticky “love bugs" here , a situation we haven’t had to deal with washing off painted canvas yet ... As with a car , probably the sooner you wash it off, the better...

Posted: Fri Sep 11, 2015 6:15 amJust a hint .... my brother used to be in the automotive business (auto body ) , and he’d WAX the front of the car or truck and leave the wax on when anticipating love bug encounters ... They came off much easier later on ..

Posted: Tue Sep 22, 2015 8:33 pmI forgot to mention, after the Labor Day Weekend trip, how Penguino II towed. I felt most comfortable at 55-65 mph (actually the posted limits on all but I-25), although that may just be my mild paranoia after the Penguino I incident. Really, I hardly felt it most of the trip, although it definitely slowed us down going over La Veta Pass in southern Colorado. Generally I get 32-35 mpg with my Elantra, but with the trailer I got about 25 mpg. Ouch!
Loving it, though, definitely loving it!

Perhaps re-shaping the nose more rounded would give you a little better mileage ... but maybe not that much ... Just enjoy your new trailer ... Have Fun !!!

Actually, I'm already thinking about #3, back to the more traditional teardrop shape with the curved front. The boxy shape works well with the bunk-bed cots, but when it is just me, I just prefer the curves.

Posted: Thu Sep 24, 2015 7:32 amCatherine , I was talking with Mary (Grits ) about the same thing yesterday ... It would appear that Foamies are really Addictive, she's planning another also...
The curves are really nice and although more difficult to make and gives less cubic volume , they sure look good ... like teardrops ...
