Hi All,
I'm new to the forum and appreciate anyone's help! I'm not the handiest person in the world, so a lot of this can be a bit over my head. Didn't have the greatest way to title this to explain my question, so here goes:
I'm building a pretty straight forward foamie to attach to an NT/Ironton 5x8 bolt together trailer. My plan was to build the full body separately and then attach it to the trailer via screws from underneath (in part to make the PMF wrapping easier). The subfloor, for what it's worth, is a sandwiched construction of 1x2s, 1/4" ply on each side, and 3/4" XPS foam.
Okay, all well and good, until I realized that I had imagined the foamie to sit flush on top of the trailer. The bolts on the trailer where crossmembers are attatched, though, obviously don't sit flush but extend upwards maybe a 1/4" or so. So every couple of feet there is a bolt head sticking up from the trailer frame. I imagine this could create some problems if I just attach the body as planned. Could create pressure points, maybe even cause some cracks? I really have no idea.
Anyway, does anyone have any thoughts or simple solutions to this? Hoping for something not too complicated and that doesn't add much in extra weight. Or, maybe it's not actually an issue at all. All thoughts appreciated. Thanks!
