We have a bunk bed!

Just in time for the long weekend! This will let us get one child up top and then sleep with the other and my wife on the queen. We did a few trips with all of us on the queen, but it was a bit cramped.

When they get older, we'll kick 'em to a tent... just can't do it yet.

Thanks to John Walker who first gave me the idea!

That is great. Bet he will remember the rest of his life how dad built him his own bunk in the camper. Course when they get older you will have the "my turn" to deal with. :lol: :thumbsup:

That looks very cool, Ben! :thumbsup: We're planning a similar bunk for our son, however we won't have to contend with any cabinets, so ours will sit lower in the cabin. Can your son crawl into it by himself easily, or does he need a boost up? Be sure to post some camping pics after the long weekend!

good work Ben

NICE!

That kid doesn't wet the bed, does he? You may want to carry an umbrella.

Hey Ben- That bunk is awesome! Quality TD too.
I was looking at your gallery and was wondering what type of mattresses you have in there. The TD looks like its 5' wide and uses 2 small mattresses rather than one queen mattress. I'm looking for a way around dropping $250 for a queen (60" wide) for my Tear - Maybe 2 small mattresses might be cheaper.
Thanks!
