Something I've wanted to try to improve the insulation value (R) of foam sandwich build: seal everywhere and pull a vacuum with a 12VDC vacuum pump. Use smoke sticks to locate leaks. Seal with hairspray temporarily, then go back and seal better after you've pulled a vacuum. Theoretically, vacuum SIP's can achieve R60 per inch.

Nicely done, I'm really impressed. I'm sure, I'm talented too but you definitely have the better ideas ...

Are these just standard 50mm eps panels ? I’ve read somewhere that they can’t be painted dark colours because of the heat affecting the panel (expansion I’m not sure) thought of raptor myself . If it’ll work on standard panels I’ll give it a go ! My second question and most important is the floor. I have a flat floor (2450mm x1980mm) is 50mm eps panel strong enough to use solely as a floor ? With furniture inside ? I won’t be Bolton anything through it, but instead building bed and cabinets out of eps , and using adhesive to bind to floor. Love to hear your thoughts! Thanks champ , Luke , Western Australia

Thanks for sharing your expertise. Could you recommend a US supplier of the panels you are using? 🙏

May I ask how you do the roof? Are those z-lock joints water tight enough to allow a couple of joints in the roof? I am hoping to make my own trailer and will have at least two seams running over the width of the trailer (if I use these panels), this will allow me to have a trailer that is a little wider and sit over the wheels like yours does.

Hi Werner, Yes roof joints are no issue if you use Urethane sealant on the joins

I havent had any luck finding the angled extrusions you seem to use between the wall and roof. Im in NZ and have been looking at Ullrich aluminium as they are normally pretty good for a range of products. Can you tell me what the extrusion is called, or better yet where you can buy in NZ?

@@t.h.o.r. I appreciate it. I saw an earlier video and it seemed all the dimensions you listed were in inches and feet and then you nicely converted to metric in your head. Was curious if inches and feet are semi common for building materials over there?
