Interior Build Ep.1: Building Foam Furniture

It's time to start building out the interior of my truck camper. I'm starting with a simple piece of foam furniture. In this video, I discuss working with foam and creating a foam storage bench.

    I love that you are doing foam for the interior. I've been thinking of the same thing for my next build. This way I get to learn from your mistakes. 🤣

    You deserve a lot more recognition. This is one of the most thorough and informative camper build series I've seen. I have intent for something very very similar but am hoping to do something to take it up a notch also that's just not quite on the market yet (probably for a reason I will painfully discover). I really hope you come back around to smoothing out the full pop top. I'm going to need your tips when my time to make one comes! Fantastic work, enjoy your adventures, and be safe out there! Respect!

    Thank you! I'm planning to spend a little more time with the full pop-up this summer. We were almost there just ran out of time to iron out the issues. If you post any of your own building, let me know. I'd love to see what you make!

    Please look up HOT WIRE foam cutter. Works very well - clean cuts.

    Wow! Surprised at how strong that foam is. I probably would have made a wooden frame and used foam for the panelling. But that's just my OCD kicking in 🤣As usual, great video!

    Haha, thanks. Yes, I'm pleased with how strong the foam is. It is bulky though, and I think we'll be making the countertop section out of wood so we can use 1/4 inch panels instead of 1 inch foam.
