I was just thinking about if a person could put it on a little 40x48 trailer.. or if only building the front half of the 4x8 or 5x8 and leaving off most everything behind the wheels. You could almost store that crosswise in the front of your garage..

I'm building on a 40 1/2"x48 inch that I leangthed to 6' for a friend of mine it's amazingly small and fits in the corner of my garage while the giant foamie takes up most of the garage. We joke about how his camper is small enough to fit in the bed of my camper :lol:

That's what I'm thinking a Foamie built that size with that interior. That camper is 772lb just think how light a foamie would be.
If I didn't already have to many projects started. Goal is to have my foamie finished and the small woodie finished up this summer so I can start a standie this winter. :D

We know the cost outside would be Inexpensive , but you “could" get a little spendy’ on the inside with fancy fabrics and accessories ... :thinking: It could be NICE all decked out and still not be anywhere near 12 “large" ... !!!
