Love ur car

Did you have a set of plans you used?

Beautiful tray! Quick question….did you have any trouble with warping after the build? I have built 2 trays 30” in diameter and both times the tray has warped. They look like tacos now!

Are these campers for sale? How much are they if they are for sale I would like to know

I'm actually currently working on building my own foamy poor Man's fiberglass teardrop camper for a motorized bicycle

Hi, what are the dimensions of your furring strips on the ceiling beams? They don't look like 1x2's. Did you cut them out of a type of plywood? I like how it just goes over the humps at the ends as these humps in the NVs makes difficult to use 1x2's over them. You even made the end beam with the same bump to match for the panels to line up. I do see that you sliced flex grooves into them which is cool.

3m makes adhesive specifically for foams...

Thank you for clarifying that I need to wash and dry the canvas… do I do a straight water wash or is okay to use laundry detergent?

Are you taking custom requests? I would love to have one that is a pop up tent trailer with some space for a bit of luggage for my little Stella scooter.

thanks for sharing. Mine just started rattling..I noticed the spider was cracked and broken...time to find a replacement.

Great video I loved how you explained everything thank you very much

Great job…I just wasn’t crazy about the music… maybe something different and rockin’ would work better….like “stairway to heaven”…

To fucking cool

very nice!

Gorilla glue expands, the fancier version of it expands more... the ordincary one probably calls for 2kg clamping force and the fancy stuff for 4

Cute little camper! Perhaps missing a solar panel.

No glue joints should be used in peel mode, only in shear. Wouldn't matter that much for foam, but still.

The s’s are kiln me. Sorry. ✌🏾

Would this type of construction hold up to highway speeds say behind a dual sport motorcycle?

Enjoying your fine work, especially the electrical installation. Question for you what is the Mpg on the highway with your Van ? 4:47

What kind of glue did u use

What an awesome build montage, there's a shortage of foamie builds on YT and this covers so much of the process. For the hinges, did you just screw that straight into the foam? Is there any concern about wearing it down?

just came across this. the PMF coating looks great, the whole trailer looks great. Do you water down the glue as well? and how many coats of paint did you end up using ? also, what are your thoughts on using bed sheets for the cloth?

Which foam is this and is it one inch ?

Thanks for the tutorial. Really helpful. The coffee table I plan to add a similar hinge to happens to be a table with a flat top treasure chest where the bottom half and chest lid are about the same height. So once I remove the fabric hinges of the lid, it’ll be a box with a lid. Also the wood is quite thin like plywood/ mdf board. How do I add the hinge to the lid and what precautions can I take so the thin wood won’t splinter with use.

Great build! That looks very nice.

if you would sell your expensive tools and machinery you would buy the most expensive motorhome in the market

Best build I've ever seen. Well done!

Fucking awesome, like the details, the foam McGovern

Sold me on PMF. What do you prefer to use to fill wood blemishes and holes before hand, bondo or wood filler? What does the glue stick better to? Thanks!

Might be worth a look using Marine foam core boards, they come in different density's and thickness. You can also get them pre-scored for going around corners. Designed to be used with fiberglass, Carbon Fiber and composite layups. Just to give you more options.

I wish I had all these tools and skills

You're going about it the wrong way. Edge-bonding foam board is a fool's folly... simply because of the porosity. As you demonstrated several times... even when the adhesive doesn't fail, the foam itself does. Try this instead: This method is called "scrim bonding", as the material used to reinforce the adhesive is called "scrim material", or simply "scrim". Ideally, you want your material width to be AT LEAST twice as wide as your board thickness. Example, 2" boards should use 4" wide scrim. Step 1- assemble the board securely in their desired position Step 2- apply a generous layer of adhesive to both corners of a butt joint, or inside and out of any corner. The base layer should be slighty wider than the width of the board to either side, to ensure full adhesion of the scrim material. No need to go crazy... just enough as so it doesn't drip. Step 3 - apply your chosen scrim material, and press it firmly into the adhesive, using a putty knife or similar to bed the centerline well into the corner, and smooth down each side. Step 4 - after the adhesive reaches a high-tack state, apply another thin layer over your scrim material, making sure to coat it thoroughly to the edges. This will provide you with a much stronger bond, while also mitigating stress across a much larger and smoother surface area. The scrim material you choose will also make a difference. -Window screen is affordable, works well, and can be purchased in large rolls for cutting any length/width you need. Make sure to use fiberglass or aluminum. Aluminum has more memory, and won't be so prone to lift from the corners while curing. Also, cheap aluminum screen usually isn't coated... so cheaper is better, to ensure proper adhesion. I don't recommend poly screen, as it's usually coated and may not bond well. -masonry scrim is available in a wide array of materials, and weaves... but most are generally too stiff for this application. Those that are too stiff are often reffered to as "structural" or "veneer scrim". That's not what you want. You need the more flexible material used for stucco features and such. While this option is more expensive, it's also much stronger... so at the very least, you should use it in higher stress areas, or a small patch every 3ft or so. Your adhesive also makes a difference (obviously, the topis of this video). I noticed you use very rigid adhesives, but in this scenario, a little give is better. What you're looking for is a non-flammable, non-skinning adhesive. 3M and other reputable companies have options available in hardware stores and automotive/autobody suppliers. The important part is NON-SKINNING. It's what allows both coats to acheive a high-tack and adhere to your scrim.

Looks great. What were the dimensions of the frame?

I really like how you adapted to the crank on the side of your table saw. I am currently looking for ideas for my Sawstop PCS and I really like yours. Great video!

Any benefit to using primer as your first coat? Got a can of exterior water based primer I’d like to use up

I keep seeing people applying a thick layer of glue to the canvas afterwards. I’m with you on letting the paint absorb in rather than just paint sitting on glue

So, which one did you end up using for foamy

I just came across this vid. Excellent work!!! Amazing talent.

Nice work. Happy to see another camper with an NV 2500. I have the same and am about 1/2 way through a build out. Not many TVs make it out camping compared to the other units which I kind of appreciate. Way to go.

Thanks for your excellent tutorial. How have been your experiences in the long term concerning the resistance against solvents? Does the PMF layer prevent accidental exposure, for example at gas stations, from diffusing through to the XPS, and therefore damage? Thanks, and best wishes.

I would have liked t se actual foam glues tested like 3M 74 and 3M 77 etc

@thelwood how would I make the poor man’s fiberglass on the inside. Do I need a frame for the teardrop or are the walls and roof enough. And would it be a good idea to add a small layer of wood on the inner walls instead of PMF

Nice

3M products and Loctite make glue specifically for bonding foam, In regards to foam trailers, we’ve been building bicycle foam trailers for about 10 years here and we have found that the best method of joint construction is not to use glue but to use weatherproof foil tape used in high temperature ducting. I use 3M or Nashua. Look up Brian Campbell Bike RV, are use the original plans and drawings for Brian’s earth ship bicycle RVs for my trailers, these were given to me by Brian’s former business partner after Brian disappeared.

I wonder if one could build a foam high top for a van. The fiberglass ones are expensive !

can i ask a picture of this camper.i"m very interested and want to make one too. thanks all

Are you still happy with the way these insulated,?

Not wasting my time where the content creator is either unwilling or unable to speak and articulate their process.

use spray foam
