Any builders of Foamies in MN and Wisc?

Postby Keith McKenna » Sun Dec 13, 2015 5:36 am

Hi. Anyone here from MN/Wisc, that has built a Foamie? If so, I would love to view your rig. I am considering my first build and it will be a Foamie. If you live within (say 60 miles) of the Mpls/St Paul area, I'd love to meet up to see your rig.
I'll bring the coffee and pastries, eh?
Thanks for your time and consideration, Keith.

Here's mine. It's primarily a toy hauler but I do camp with it.

What do you have in mind?

I'm in Madison, and will be starting my foamie build in the spring. Kinda hard to get glue to set in this weather, and I don't have a heated workspace.

Always read the can to discover the operating temperature range of your paints and glues ... and do protect your PVA glue from freezing ... :o

Like I have said before, The challenge on this build was to not use any wood. Not even in the floor :thinking:

You seem to have built exactly what I am thinking of! Do you have a build thread? And how did you make a woodless floor?

Thanks in advance -

I'm in the twin cities, I have a foamie that's nearly done. (Dang lights) and I mostly gave up because the garage floor got cold and I need to re-arrange for winter parking. If you'd like to see it let me know.
