One advantage to a 7ft wide trailer vs 6ft is you can sleep width ways...im to tall for my trailer to do that! looks great!

I ALWAYS forget to take a pillow camping. These will stay in the trailer.

Yes 7 foot is perfect. Two true 60"x80" queen mattresses in a 10 foot trailer.

I have not been able to really test the AC yet. We have had really nice weather since I bought it. Barely hit 80 the last two days.

Yamping was a success! Once the boys went to sleep they were out like logs until sun up.

The air conditioner worked great and even cycled in 90+ degree weather.
At least I thought. Then I crawled up on the top bunk.
DEAD HOT AIR! Luckily we were in the back yard so I ran in the house and got a small fan.
Woke up an hour later cold and had to pull the covers up.

I think I will get a 12v fan. That way I can use it when I don't have 110v.

I am also thinking a roof vent and screens for ether side of the air conditioner.
I could have turned of the ac and been comfortable then.

I got a couple coats of white paint on the trailer. It was finally cool enough the paint didn't sizzle.

I also got the cord hatch hole drilled. I borrowed a hole saw and 1/2" drill from work.
The old Milwaukee drill tried to flip me over once :shock:.
