To me, it makes no sense to use spray foam. It would just be a mess to clean up. I find 2" of foam board in the ceiling and 3/4" of foam board in the walls and floor to be plenty. And that's in the middle of Idaho. Even on chilly nights, you need to crack open a window and the ceiling vent, or...

A 46" tall cabin (with 2" of insulation in the ceiling so a 4' tall exterior) will give you more headroom while sitting than in your tow vehicle. And that's with an 8" mattress. Some folks like to build a 5' tall cabin, but keep in mind that you'll want the warmth a foot closer to you on...

Could be. :cool:

Supposedly, the guy who wrote that book hangs out here and answers a question when they pop up.

Build your own...

There's nothing that touches a Partner camp stove. Tony

That's crazy. I push a handful of grease squirts into my Dexter Ez-lubes each spring.

I'm going to say, probably, but that's not good enough, obviously. You might give eTrailer a call. They're helpful.

As an old Avid Flyer builder, I've watched his videos open-eyed. Tony

I think you've watched a couple-three of Mike Patey's YouTubes. :cool:

1325 pounds. It's a #9, 2200 pound axle down rated to 1500 pounds so it rides like a dream. I understand that all currently manufactured U.S. Army utility trailers have Dexter torsion axles under them. Here's a friend's teardrop with a failed Timbren: Tony

Good grief. I've been using Dexter torsion axles for twenty years and find them a great ride with no issues. Tony

The stuff is kinda crazy. I used to make Kevlar/S-glass kayaks a million years ago. We had to have two brand-new pairs of Fiskars scissors. One for glass and one for Kevlar. You could cut the Kevlar just fine with the dedicated cutters unless you made one snip with those scissors on glass, and...

The kevlar is more resistant to abrasion?

Impressive.

Thanks. You obviously know what you're doing, so I'm leaving my skepticism in the closet. :cool: Tony

I assume you'll join those with strips of carbon fiber cloth? And the final finish–UV clear coat, I assume?

50% of Boeing's 787 is made from carbon fiber composites. And there are many other aircraft using the stuff. It's not going to fail. Tony

Well... maybe. But why risk it? Add a layer of 4 or 6 oz cloth. It's just about as easy as adding epoxy. Tony

Put five gallons of water on the tongue and it shouldn't sway anymore. That's the issue. Tony
