hey all-- it's been a few days since i could find time for project 'why'----but it's go time again.
this phase is pretty slow, as i want these diminishing curves to be just right. as things are (as seen in the photos) i think that the rear-most plywood bulkhead may be a little steep---as i discovered with the previous piece too ! so it may also get a wee add-on to flesh it out a few inches. this is the head of the bed, and space is crucial--almost as crucial as how the outside looks ! the concensus at this point is to ixnay on the bed-to-couches scenario and keep the matress as close as is comfortable to the floor. there is nearly 60" between the wheel wells---plenty of room for a double-plus bed. if we put the bed on top of the wells, then 75" is the bed width but we lose crucial head clearance at the pillow end.
convertible couches and table ---not so important---seeing as there is a lot of room for a wee table setting at the front end

using a template of the curvature from the base of the trailer. at 6" increments we measure from the centre to this board, always keeping the rearmost point of the board and the spinal column together. didn't quite work as planned. both times we used this method i found the walls to taper too quickly

note the scabbed-on re-curve on the second to last piece
