Just bought a 6 x 8 sheet of 1/2" degrade plywood for some camper fix its. Only needed less than 1/4 of it. With tax $100+. Talk about sticker shock

Local lumber in the land of hewers of wood: paying $110CND for each 3/4" standard 4x8 fir plywood. Softwood market kills the local real estate/development market more than it kills you in this . Madison prices for 9.5mm ply is almost $1400/msf wholesale. cheaper to clad the backwoods timberframe poleshelter in metal roofing. At least it used to be relegated to the backwoods properties...
popping up in the local subdivision now though too. LOL - COVID purchases and projects blowing up the system.

I wanted to make my spacer/raiser under my camper in my truck box into a basement storage for skis, lawn chare etc. Prices cancelled that. I thought i might just make it out of aluminium and itd be 1/3 of the weight. No welds , just get it assembled. May end up pricing that assembled alu option eventually

Could use a couple sheets of 2" foundation foam. Lightweight and insulates your floor.

Second the 2” foam.
Fight thermal bridging at all costs.

Ya eh? Im not familiar with that. Im looking for about an extra 3" on top of my current spacer to clear the tie down hangers. I have to back in close to perfect so they dont scratch my box. I stuck some loose 2 x 4's under the current spacer but i need another 1 1/2". So 3" total
I bought a couple aluminium plates and made some spacers to move the front jacks out when i take the camper off. That gives me a nice amount of space to back in when i load it. Then just 2 bolts to move the jacks in before i hit the road. Just have to get some seperation from those tie down hangers now. Bad design having them stick out of the underside. Maybe i should cut them shorter and fab some attachment to the shortened hangers and one of those 2" foundation foams. Ill have to look tommorrow. That could be nice. Previous owner put a laminate floor in with aluminium stringers and some special foam insulation, maybe that stuff

Ski RV's, who's sleeping in parking lots?
It’s r-10 foam board insulation. Just place it between your current platform and the camper.

Oh ya that stuff. Price should be attractive and foamular 250 should support the camper no problem. Whay about this?

In the same paragraph i copied thst quote from it said you csnt paint it and it cant be left exposed. I guess itd melt ez with a fire but what about super cold winter weather. Would it get brittle?

Add 4x4 and suspension work for a winner.

My understanding is a pre-92 4x4 conversion will be DIY as the major conversion companies only do the newer body style.

The cold won't damage it, UV exposure is the enemy of that stuff, and why it needs to be covered ASAP after it's installed on a house.
There is a liquid coating that can be applied to it which makes it UV stable, I see it on the outside of ICF foundations (although those are typically EPS and not XPS). It sounds like in your installation it would be pretty well protected from light exposure, but that is what will kill it quickly.
It's also toxic as all get-out when it burns, but that should go without saying given it's plastic.

Good to know . I was going to make an additional frame with 2x4 and a sheet of 3/4". Maybe ill just makr the 2x4 frame around some of that stuff and skip the plywood. Cheaper and easier/lighter to install every time i load/unload the camper

It’s a cool rig!!
Yeah or small shop. Parts and schemes from Quigely and Pathfinder are out there. The pros and cons of 4x4 have been gone over here. That said it sure would suck to see a perfectly useful camper get sucked into an unfinished project vortex. Guy on Exped “simply” swapped the entire chassis over to a quigley. A roadtrek Or similar carriage.
I always wondered if a lift shook the components like appliances and stuff more than they were engineered to be shook. Probably no real data on that.
