Its sort of mine!

For one person it is, and I have some physical issues that's why lift assist is needed. My lift bed is a memory foam double, it's heavy. My couch dinette is medium density foam 48"x72" when made into a bed.

Thanks! It looked close to a queen. Did you get the slides and brackets at a local hardware store? What did you use to mount the bed in the slides? I Think I may be able to use your design without springs and just have two people lift on each side.

[Padilen]

Unistrut from home depot if your not going to use the rollers(amazon or eBay) you can use the low profile Unistrut. Since I used rollers I used a carriage bolt threw the hole in them.

Will spring ever get here ?
I have a few things to finish then I want to go go go. . Want and what I'll have funds for ???.
I'm expecting my health to be better this year, although I have a bad cold touch of flu right now. I'm now fully recovered from my heart mass removal surgery. I'm an official member of the zipper club. My other earlier "zipper" was un-official. So other than about 2" I have zippers from pelvic bone to collar bone. I did ask my surgeon to connect them but he declined-not medically necessary .
Last week 2 friends came over to see my CTC and now they are thinking of selling their T@da and smaller cargo trailer to finance a CTC. She's been trying to join the forum I don't know if her request has gone through.
I'm hoping that this cold is done with me, and the snow and cold last only a few days.

If lifting is a problem, you might consider a pulley and winch system. With enough pulleys a child can winch up hundreds of pounds. The trick is designing the block and tackles and getting them all to work together.

Here is a bed lift that uses pulleys in this Elk Mountain Camper video. It is almost at the end. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-2AYJwKedo

Thanks for sharing that.
I actual did something today for my CTC.
I sanded the trim and got varnish on, one coat on one side

[Padilen]

Today I worked on insulating underneath with ridged foam. I'm about 2/3 done but gave all the "hard" area's to do. The v and around the plumbing and wiring. And I over did it, will take a few days to recover.

I'm working or helping is a better description at least until the maple syrup is all bottled. I help a few days a week. Today I was "off" I had wanted to go to the Jeep Blessing. But my friend and home builder was able to help me fix my un square bathroom. I need to shellac the trim again and then seal the corners. Then hang the shower curtain and TP holder. The underside of floor is all insulated, some caulking left. Still not sure what I'll coat it with. Whole in floor for AC and maybe an additional side vent for waste tank vent instead of existing one. Then in using it

[Padilen]

Underside of Taz is completed. I used Dryloc tinted grey to paint insulation.

[Iconfabul8]

What are you using to attach the insulation to the bottom of the trailer?

[Padilen]

What are you using to attach the insulation to the bottom of the trailer?

Liquid nails that's safe for insulation. I used 1" scrap pieces as spacers or cleats glued in. Then cut my 2" so I had to force it in, using liquid nails to attach to the spacers. Caulked around all seams, then 2 coats of Dryloc.

[Padilen]

Few things to mount/hang and Taz is coming out of pole barn!
Bathroom- minus shower curtain, should be done tomorrow.

Cargo bar that I think I'll use as a clothes rod. Changed my mind used a clothes rod.

Garage door latches that I'll use as indoor ramp door latches.

Shower curtain shower caddy and a wire shelf left to do.

[Padilen]

Done did it!

[Padilen]

Got it out- by myself!

Hey Padilen,
I've been meaning to tell you what a nice job you have done with that project. The end product is really something you can be proud of. I have followed from the start and I must say I am impressed with the way you stuck with it and forged ahead, taking one bite at a time until you got it done. A lot of people (myself included) could stand to take a lesson from you.
Nice job young man.

McDave

P.S. That trailer is looks like it just barely clears the barn door at the top!
