Yeah Mike, I really was intrigued by Lee's rear entry TD at Walk the Winds. Been thinking a lot about it. I'd do things a little different, especially the galley access, but I sure like having a little 'standing' room even if ya gotta bend over a little... ;)

Why just stop with the rear entry :twisted: move bed to front cross ways and put small coffee area to one side of trailer and you can have a cup of joe :thumbsup: before coming out in the cold and maybe a port a potty to one side so when the calling in the middle of the night you can just get up and go :poop: You get the ideal

Please remember that your 6' wide is just 72" That means that you probably won't be able to use a conventional, store-bought mattress crosswise unless you build out the sides of the trailer a bit.

Conventional sizes are:

Std. Full size: 54x75"
Std. Queen: 60x80"

slowcowboy wrote:6 foot 4 inches wide sharon. thats the actually measerments on the donor trailer. not sure on this cross wise thingy though. I did some more measering this moring and I can come up with on a 10 and a half long trailer close to 2 feet of storage space with the bed normal ways or length wise too. i think like woodbutcher says a 2 foot deep galley is plenty on a 6 wide.

and my trialer will be 4 inches wider than even 6 foot!

slow



:thinking: 6'4" (or 76") width will allow you to use a conventional 54x75" standard size full mattress; but, not a 60x80" queen. Still, that's not too bad.

You might want to follow my thread on a Reproduction Scotty rear door that I am working on. Here is an original...

Here is the current status, I think my outside width will be 76". Bed will come to about half way over the tires. Cabinets on either side of drop floor.
