Spent a few hours trying to design the bed and table system.... wanted a queen size fold-down bed, a bench to comfortably sit at / work from, and a table that would fold down from the table and reach the bench at a comfortable height. It took way more math and measuring than I expected. Notably, the table had to be narrow enough to not be in the way when the table folded down and had to be mounted high enough to be at a comfortable height. I've been staring at it for a couple hours now... but I think it all jives. It's absolutely inspired by Glenlivets CTC
http://tnttt.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=46134I tried to have the table just fold down across the "aisle" if you will but the length required made + the height of the top surface (table height) made that not work. Stumped. Remembered seeing someone build a murphy bed with a boat seat swivel as a hinge point... so attach a boat seat swive, to the bottom of the bed, a piece of ply attached to the other side. That piece of ply has a piano hinge on it and then the table surface attached to that! The table will be stored "sideways" and when I want to use it, rotate it up, and fold it down. Feeling pretty good about my design! Please poke holes in it tho!!
I tried to draw everything to scale and I think it's all pretty close!
Looking into the trailer from the rear:
