I have been slowly building my own trailer. I am in no means a very good carpenter and cant cut a straight line to save my life. But its progressing.

I wanted to fiberglass it. But I dont think my budget will allow me.

I was thinking of poor mans fiberglass which consists of wood glue, canvas and latex paint.

I did that on mine, PMF that is.. The cheap canvas, well looks like cheap canvas when done. Using a good cloth (duck is really nice) and using a quality paint (so it will last) prices out right about the same as 'glassing. I will 'glass next time. Did a cost comparison on TNTT with another that loves fiberglass, we were but a few dollars off of each other.

I will price it out. I really appreciate the insight. I've also thought of using laminate. The is a place here I can get it for 20 cents a square foot.

DIY's are terrific. You can usually surprise yourself with the finished product. Keep up to date with progress please!

Looks great so far. If you haven't passed the point of no return, i'd encourage you to include a street side door as well. You never know when a particular campsite will make one side versus the other more convenient. A scond door also gives you a backup in case a door lock were to ever fail.
Traveler III
I have passed the point of being able to do that. But the latches I'm using it would be close to impossible for it to fail.
