is there any reason not to 45 cut the floor and the bottom of the wall panels?

Your videos are excellent and packed with good information and I'm starting to feel more confident about the building process. I'm interested in possibly constructing a small camper using your composite panels. Does the base channel and corner molding provide most of the structural strength?

It looks like you have riveted aluminium to steel. Is there not an issue if galvanic corrosion? Also, you mention elsewhere the foam is porous, is it open or closed cell? If water contacts the foam directly, is it absorbed or unable to penetrate?

Yep....just did the math myself. No need to inquire any farther. Its sheet metal glued on foam. Yes its easier to buy it pre made but damn......$17 a sq. ft. ? Going back to my "stick" built design. Mig welder, plywood, flat stock metal siding.

Wow.... $17 a square foot. So a 16x7x8 box would cost 10 grand before any hardware or even shipping or taxes. I can buy a used toy hauler or cargo trailer a LOT cheaper. Wow. No need to follow the channel as I would never ever pay that. Good luck.
@boreascompositepanels 3 ай бұрын
Thats correct, they are not cheap, but they aren't cheap either. Typical travel trailers are built using plywood, (kown as "stick and tin" in the industry) certainly come at a lesser cost based on the lower quality materials used in manufacturing

I love your guys trailers and am happy you’re selling these panels now. I gotta ask though, if you had to panels each with a 45 miter and a 90, hey in the world would you choose the butt joint? I’m guessing the person that cut them for you is facepalming after watching the video.
@rogermccaslin5963 3 ай бұрын
I was thinking the same thing. The mitered corner would place the rivets much further inboard from the edge of the fiberglass and give the Sika an actual surface to bond to rather than just being pressed onto foam (which has no strength).
@boreascompositepanels 3 ай бұрын
There is always more than one way to skin a cat. The Boreas Campers product uses butt joints in its construction process. This requires a larger peice of alum angle to cover the corners. We just posted up another video using a lap joint. The lap joint process will be used in our pre cut and/or pre assebled camper kits. Here is a link kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4rHkqeghM5od7s

As efficient as these panels may be, you’d have the ugliest camper out there. Or can this be made with an inner skeleton and capped corners? Cannot make curves, I assume? How do you run wires?
@boreascompositepanels 3 ай бұрын
You are able to bend the panels up 20 degrees for a sloped roof or you can cut multiple pieces to add angles. No interior struture is necessary, but yes you can cap the corners if desired for asthetics or additional strength. Small conduit on the exteior of the walls works great for running wire. Check out @boreascampers for an example of this composite panel and aluminum exoskeleton system

Curious here, are you saying that can be used as/or in place of a floor? Is it really that strong & has anyone ever seen/heard of this being used in a "House-Boat"? I'm looking into some things & this caught my eyes so I stopped in to see how good it is?
@boreascompositepanels 3 ай бұрын
I know that many pontoon boat manufactures are going to composite decking/floors as opposed to marine plywood, however, I'm not sure what their exact specs are. Using our panels as a floor is not an issue. You do need to have support members at a minium of 18 inches. I also recommend using a secondary finish, such as LVL in high traffic areas.
@diggy-d8w 3 ай бұрын
I like the material & it looks like it's easy to handle. Tough -n- light weight is all good. I'm still researching but I wouldn't use plywood anyway, not marine or any other b/c it's too heavy. This stuff has some good attributes but do know if can be covered w/ fiberglass? I'm real new to all of this & I thank you for sharing the info here. I do like it, thanks a lot.

You do not want to fully compress the bonding surfaces and squeeze out your adhesive. With the XPS foam core being porous you are able to keep a tight bond line.

Concerned about de-lamination whether from when I cut out openings, corners, etc or just over time. What do you recommend to re-glue the frp to the foam and do you sell it?
@boreascompositepanels 3 ай бұрын
Thats correct you do not want to have exposed edges on the panels. However, the water intrusion needed to cause any type of delamination is infintiley greater than a traditional plywood (stick and tin) camper. When you cut a hole for a door or a window the FRP and XPS foam core will stay bonded together and you won't need to glue any exposed edges. Just make sure the final installation of the door/window is well sealed.

I saw a video from Australia showing i think 15 people standing on the roof of a similar construction trailer. No frame required is why this construction is so awesome. I build mine with moulded rounded corner construction and no caps, still plenty strong but not for offroad. Great to see a company selling product for the DIY crowd.
