DT,
Your CT conversion is looking real comfortable. I'm afraid if I had a setup like yours, I'd never leave the campsite.
Take care,
Tom

Taking a little trip this weekend. Headed to West Texas to do some electrical work at the family farm. Going to try to squeeze in a little play time with the boys too. :D

The Daytona trip was awesome. Camper worked flawlessly.. Image

Got a few more details to wrap up with trim, painting the rear floor area, etc.. Still want to find an awning of some sort. Then I still plan to build a roof rack and ladder. I want to be able to haul the spare tire, some folding chairs, etc., on the roof..

Haven't posted in a couple of months.... We've taken several weekend trips. Love the trailer.
The wife decided that the pantry isn't enough storage... Not to mention having to go from galley area to midways back to retrieve things from it. So I got challenged to build an overhead cabinet up front...
So.. I get to do some welding ! :twisted:
The lower drop-down frame will hold the microwave above the counter. Just trying to make the most use of space. The frame adds about 23 pounds up front in the trailer. So long as the cargo area is loaded correctly, balancing is easily obtained still. I plan to cover it this evening.

Got the majority of the overhead cabinet covered.. Now get to trim it up, and we're good to go:

Got some folding couch-beds out of a toy hauler I recently salvaged..
I think these will work nicely.

Very nice! The upper cabinets look like they were always planned to go there. I really like the beds too. Could let me know what the rough dimensions of the beds in sleep mode and what your aisle width is please?
Thank you,
Tom

The bed / couches are 42" wide in sleeping position. And they are 76" long..
The aisle between the two (in sleeping position) is 12" wide. Just perfect for the persons on the back bed to get through for a late night potty break ! :beer:

Thank you for the dimensions and for answering the reason why I was asking for the dimensions.
