Building the bed frame for the double bed

February 17 2010

That is my wife and my son sitting to the left of me. We were putting our heads together planning the frame so that my wife and I would both be comfortable at night when we would be using the trailer.





This is my son and I burning a little night oil while working on the the rear bed frame. The exterior of the trailer is pretty close to as it came from the factory except for the furnace vent by the door. The inside I changed a few things a little to make it more comfortable for us. The original   seat went all the way across the back,but would not pull out for two people. We built the bed to where it had storage under it and also would pull forward so the back cushion could slide down and make a double bed

That is the framing in place and veneer running across the front. The two outside storage spaces you get two from the outside compartment doors, the center storage you raise the plywood that the cushions  rest on to get what you need .







This just another shot of the frame, and floor.

Putting the floor under the trailer

April 4, 2010

I purchased new 3/4 inch plywood and new black fiber board to go under the plywood. I used carriage bolts to pull it all down. I pulled the bolts down far enough that the flooring could be puttied over and then smoothed. This was in preperation  for the Armstrong vinyl checkerboard flooring that would be glued down.

You can see that all the 2X4's were replaced, that was under the floor also.









Next I took the framing down that had supported the trailer while the floor and frame was being worked on. I was happy to see that go, I can't tell you how many times I would raise up and hit my head on it. Ha Ha  That was the frame of many names!

The the floor has now been put back in place and the trailer lowered to the floor and reattached. . Next,  I am going to move to the outside of the trailer and prepare it for painting while the weather is warm.
