Double bed with bunks

[CJGFX]

Well all being well tomorrow our cars getting fitted with it's tow bar ad then we can start on our long awaited trailer
We'd like to keep the design to a traditional TearDrop shape, though as we would like a double mattress and some how get a couple of small bunks in too for the kids, the designing is not going to be easy. We have a foot print of around 10' X 4' for the body of the caravan so hopefully we can do something with in that space. We have been looking at something like the 'Camp Inn' 'Raindrop' camper with it's cleaver double bunks at the front. But does anyone have any experience or see any teardrops with bunks in?
We've been looking around for a while and not seen any to give us some ideas......

PLEASE HELP

You can take a look at my build, just click on the rotating picture below my name. The body length is longer than you are planning, but should give you some ideas.

J'ai vu plusieurs qui a eu une couchette sur le matelas principal. Que j'ai fait étais crée un secteur endormi que j'appelle le grenier. Vous pourriez le faire facilement pour que le deuxième lit examine les pieds.

Plusieurs personnes ont décrit le camping de larme avec leurs enfants - généralement en les mettant dans une tente. Peut-être quelques-uns pourraient préférer avoir l'espace pour leurs enfants dans leur caravane, notamment quand ils sont plus jeunes. Cette conception de caravane efforce de faire cela.

Il semble absurde pour construire une caravane pour accommoder vos enfants et les a alors devient trop grand pour leurs cabines dans la hauteur avant qu'ils font si dans l'attitude. Si la couchette des enfants sur cette conception est calibré pour accommoder des enfants les ans jusqu'à adolescents. Par alors ce serait une pression tendue sur la hauteur mais, hé, les enfants sont adaptables. Les enfants dorment à travers la caravane sur une couchette élevée (avec une barre de sécurité détachable), pendant que les adultes dorment dans le sens de la longueur avec leurs pieds sous la couchette des enfants.

Le corps de caravane est 12 pi x 6 pi x 4 pi, et son profil est lâchement fondé sur le Petit/Moderniste. La largeur de caravane n'est pas autant déterminée de par la longueur de la couchette des enfants, mais par la largeur de la couchette de l'adulte entre les passages de roue - si le corps est n'importe quel moins que 6 pi large général, cette couchette sera moins que 4 pi large pour 40% de sa longueur.

Le corps courbé donne l'espace pour un placard généreux devant la cabine de l'adulte et une cuisine vraiment spacieuse - une grandes crises de refroidisseur longitudinalement sur les coureurs et part des chargements d'espace ministériel. Il a y de la place pour un avant de compartiment d'utilité généreux de la cuisine qui peut loger un 12 réservoir d'eau de femme et 12v pile et a toujours l'espace est parti sur pour une unité de COMPTE ou la fournaise.

Un plancher tombé a été bien inclus et la partie de la couchette des enfants peut être hinged en bas pour créer deux canapés de revêtement - dans une 4 hauteur de corps de pi ceci n'est pas un arrangement spacieux mais sera probablement bienvenu sur le froid ou les jours mouillés.

Un châssis simple, fondé sur la conception d'Oie Sauvage, est utilisé avec la section carrée longitudinale et angle transversal. La conception est montrée avec un axe de torsion Dextre, mais pourrait utiliser un axe tombé sur les printemps de feuille.

translation:
I saw several who had a berth on the main mat. What I did was create a sleeping area that I call the attic. You could do that easily for the second examines the foot bed.

Several people described the teardrop camping with their children - usually by placing them in a tent. Perhaps some may prefer to have the space for their children in their caravan, especially when they are younger. This conception of caravan tries to do that.

It seems absurd to build a caravan to suit your children and then outgrows their cabins in height before they do so in the attitude. If the sleeping children on this design is sized to accommodate children up to teenagers annually. By then it would be a tight pressure on the pitch but, hey, kids are adaptable. The children sleep through the caravan on a bunk high (with a detachable safety bar), while the adults sleep in the lengthwise with their feet under the bunk of children.

The trailer body is 12 ft. x 6 ft. x 4 ft., and its profile is loosely based on the Small / Modernist. The width of caravan is not as much determined by the length of the berth of children, but by the width of the berth in adults between the wheel - if the body is any less than 6 ft wide generally, this berth will be less than 4 feet wide to 40% of its length.

The curved body provides space for a generous closet before the cabin of an adult and a really spacious kitchen - a large cooler longitudinally attacks on riders and share loads of Cabinet space. It ay room for a front compartment with generous use of the kitchen that accommodates 12 Water tank 12v battery and a woman and still has space left on for one unit or furnace ACCOUNT.

A dropped floor was well included and part of the bunk of children can be hinged down to create two facing settees - in a 4 ft. body height of this arrangement is not spacious but will probably be welcome on the cold or wet days.

A single chassis, based on the design of Wild Goose, is used with the square longitudinal and transverse angle. The design is shown with a twist axis Dextre, but could use a pin dropped on the leaf spring.

This is how I am planning to build my next camper. Going to be a standy/slouchy style tear w/ sleeping for 2 adults and 2 kids. The front bench will transform into bunkbeds, however I do not have all of the details worked out since it will be a year before I can even start building.



With the outside looking something like this:

Thanks all for there suggestions. However due to the width of the width of our chassis, the idea that John has used seems to be the one for us. I think as it saves precious weight and coincidentally I drew up something similar over the weekend and when the kids get bigger they can go in a tent on the side. If anyone has any further suggestions please don't hesitate to tell?

Thanks again.

En regardant son ensemble jusqu'à ce que serait une bonne façon d'aller. Bonne chance et attendons avec impatience les photos.


Looking at his set up that would be a good way to go. Good luck and looking forward to the pictures.
