While the exterior look has been an incredibly important part of the project, getting the interior space right has been a bit of an obsession. From finding a bed that would fit inside and be long enough for my 6'1" frame to sleep in comfortably, to the right combination of lighting to fill the trailer with sufficient light without requiring excessive solar panels and batteries, the details have been exciting to work on, especially with the goal of making the interior both aesthetically appealing and functional.

Initially, I had planned to have the bunk beds fold down from the wall, but after realizing I could make the trailer 6" wider (7'4" vs. 6'10"), the bunk beds could be permanently in place and still provide sufficient room in the kitchen. While the bunks are just over 6' long, they have hosted adults once so far who seemed to have sufficient space. The kitchen still has a few quirks to work out, but is a dream to cook in while camping...I have always been accused of being a gourmet on the road and the kitchen was really designed to fit me and my cooking style, there is plenty of counter space, a sink, powerful gas cook top, and almost everything one could possible want for the ultimate "glamping" experience!
