GPW Hold your finger on your ctrl button and hit the minus button one stroke at a time until you get it where you can see it.

OK, Thanks GG !!!
Actually , it looks like the third party photo storage sites , allows someone one to post pictures bigger than are usually allowed here …

It’s not actually a problem (AFAIK) but it sure is an inconvenience having to adjust our screens because somebody posted a too Large picture (s) … Something which might affect whether that someone gets an answer or not …

Hi guy's,

another option that I found yesterday.
Fast build and cheap.

My neighbour works for one of their distributor.
22$ a sheet.
The side will look like a enclosed trailer with the joint ;-)
To make the roof water proof I will use a bead of goop in the joint.
But my trailer always sleep inside!

I think I will use that stuff.

Ok Guy's

I didn't start my project so far and now a new Needs for my pods!

I just bought a snowmobile so my trailer is not enough big.
I need at least 5x10 so I think I will built a new one.
I will start I new thread when I will be building the pod.

One quick question!

I plan to do PMF for the 3/4 plywood on the floor and side of the new trailer to protect it.

Since it will be a primary utility trailer can PMF over plywood can withstand utility trailer use? (carrying bulk of soil, rock and sand that may need to be remove with a garden shovel)
And can it will withstand the snowmobile ski?

Thanks

Dan

Finally I got a pop up trailer frame that I modified to have an 64x130 inch trailer with removable side.

So now I started planing the pod.
64x130 by 6 feet high.
The need for 6 feet high is I now need to fit one queen bed and one 39 inch single bed (bunker bed)

So since I need 6 feet high.
in a concern of cost and loss material reduction
Can I make join in the foam wall like 4x8 + 2x8 for 6x8 wall?
Or can I take 2x8 sheet cut it at 72inch and use the 24 inch remaining in the next 2x6 wall section?
That way the 2x6 one sheet will overlap the joined 2x6 wall with the glued lapped edge!
What I'm looking to use are:

Dan , The foam is homogenous , and you can just butt it together and glue it …

I've used splines in slots cut with router and a wing cutter bit. That helps keep the edges aligned during glue up.

This looks to be an interesting project and I look forward to seeing its progression.

I liked those panels you linked to, I've just found Car Plan Superlight Panels, a SIP that may be ideal for the construction of a Slidavan.
