Aaron I basically went with this design to utilize all the space I could squeeze out of it. As I like the space..

Hey Dan, since I pretty much copied your build! what size rear hatch struts did you use? I haven't installed any yet, but am getting tired of holding it up with one hand while I put a pole under it.
thanks

You're trailer turned out great. I've been reading through a lot of builds over the years and am finally started my own. You've given me lots of ideas. Thanks for sharing your build.

This is such a great build. Exactly what I want to do. How hard was it to get that mattress in there?

Thank you. Getting the mattress in wasn't hard, I built an access panel below the counter which is the width of trailer, it is hinged and we just slide it in.

Just like I plan to make my entire kitchen box removable, partially so I can put a real mattress in from the back, but also so I can take the kitchen out and use it elsewhere...picnic table or shelter, inside a cabin or motel room etc

Great Build. I just wanted to share my thanks for sharing it here. You and so many others are so inspiring by posting it here. Think once I finish rebuilding the kitchen I will start my Benroy before the Mrs finds another major project.

Thanks Again.
