Hi all,
I’m planning to build my first trailer. The idea is a pseudo-standby-squareback with a queen size bed and a bunk for our little one.
After reading many posts from the forum I decided upon 1x2 framing with extruded polystyrene infill and 1/8” Baltic birch inside and out, probably with an aluminium skin. In my stupidity I didn’t check that 3/4” XPS was available - it seems like it isn’t - I’m in Canada. So a few options that I can think of: 1) increase thickness of framing - I already purchased 1x2 (3/4” thick) but I could add some 1/4” ply and then purchase 1” XPS; 2) is it possible to pass 1” XPS through a thickness planer to create 3/4”? I know people use power planers on the same stuff when making surfboards; 3) use something instead of XPS.
I’m hoping the voice of experience may be able to guide me.
Thank you,
James
