Bigger bed

Posted: Tue Oct 18, 2005 10:12 amI never take the wife AND the girlfriend at the same time so I figured queen size was plenty when I built mine!
Posted: Tue Oct 18, 2005 10:34 amWell, we've been practicing in the small space that a 4' would provide...and finding it STILL isn't enough room. We have king at home...and that is plenty, and on a queen, we begin to have difficulties. Unfortunately, we are both sprawlers
Going between a queen and a king would likely be perfect. Just wide enough, we don't bump elbows and knees as often...and long enough, I don't have cold feet (6'1"--7' when I stretch out).
The monstrosity would be pulled by a Ford Expedition if it were built. We bought it to initially pull a big enough pop-up, but then ended up going in the realm of teardrops.

More sleeping area
Posted: Tue Oct 18, 2005 11:21 amI have designed a modified teardrop that will sleep 2 6'4" people in 2 bunks + the lower bunk will convert to a futon size berth for 2. It is 9' long by 6'5" wide by 4' high. Plus it has an enclosed porta potti area. It is amazing what you can fit into a small area without cluttering it up. I will post pictures as I progress.
