An off-road trailer made completely out of foam? What could go wrong? Well it turns out not much. George from SW Idaho Overland has built a "foamie" which is an off-road trailer built on a harbor freight trailer chassis where the walls and roof are all foam. This design is ultra lightweight, inexpensive and very DIY friendly. If you would like to see his build in detail checkout his channel dedicated to the build: youtube.com/@bugouttrailers7964
You can see a time-lapse of the build as well as in-depth look at several of the key steps.
