Mushrooming Benroy
![Post Post](./styles/prosilver/imageset/icon_post_target.gif)
Hi!
This such a wonderful forum. Thanks everyone. I'm making this post here because I'm likely to build a foamie. If it'd be better to post in the member designs section and just add "probably a foamie" let me know.
I need a little help from the experienced builders/campers here. I like the benroy: pleasing to my eye, practical and plans are readily available. The issue: I have a family - wife and two kids. I've bumbled around the forum and found that people talk a little bit about tip outs as a way to deal with this. So, I need input on the mushrooming benroy.
The idea is two tipouts, front and back, no galley, on a 5X8 benroy. We would sleep with our heads toward the center (two by two). Feet go in the tip outs. Front tip out supported by the trailer frame/tongue. back supported by ???. It know the front tip out blocks the door when folded in, but maybe that is okay?
Please take a look. And don't hold back. If you say "you're better off with a huge pickup truck and a traditional RV" at least I know you're talking to me. TV is a subaru station wagon or a honda CRV, so I'd like light, low and short-ish.
Here is the taped up pizza box:
