One of the reasons I chose this technique. I tried just paint....

I did not want to add a lot of weight so I though I would give this a try. Looks great now , but not sure how well it will hold up to expansion/contraction of the foam in weather extremes. This is a test...
The counter will probably eventually pull loose a little at some (not all) of the edges, usually where there has been something heavy sitting, and then curl just a tad. (And I do mean a tad.) If you can use PL2000 on foam (I think you can?), that will match the polyurethane and brown paper and should fix the problem there, at the edge. After 6 years of walking on mine, it finally has one spot that pulled loose and needs to be fixed and I think that's pretty good. But then, mine is on wood.... (I'll fix that spot this winter.) Also, a knife will cut it just like a knife will cut Formica; so, be sure to use a cutting board. It is easy to add extra layers of polyurethane when needed and that will usually fill in small cuts, etc. You'll be able to tell when you have a cut because the water will get in that spot a little and temporarily darken the paper there. Wait for the water to evaporate before you fix it.
Thanks for the pictures of the campground in Hells Canyon. I wondered what it was like.
...Good job on your new trailer!
