Here is a link of how we do parts for the XPCamper.
My link
Only structural foam-core is used in the whole building process of the cabin.
This way the loads are taken by both the wall and the unidirectional fiberglass, therefore reducing unnecessary stresses on high load areas.
Basically the whole cabin is being build in that process.

Very cool stuff, I pondered doing vac bagging on my stuff but couldn't really justify the cost for the extra peel ply, breather, absorbent material, etc. for the scale project I'm doing (and my labor is free to work the extra resin/air out as opposed to letting vacuum do it). Any idea what kind of glass to resin ratio you're getting? It looks like my test parts were coming out around 55% glass doing hand laid up woven fabric.

FYI: I've got a bunch of extra 14ga wire in red and black. Its a thick jacket 41strand wire (likely MTW wire) verse typical 19strand automotive wire. It has good flexibility but factor in the thick jacket. I'll ship out 100' coils for $18 (I can go 50' of ea for that too) if anyone is in need of wire.
