Trailer report - the bunks are in

One of the last things on our list was to put bunks in. All-fab, a local metal working company, built the frames and we sewed the cover with duck canvas.



This bunk has hinges so we can fold it in half length-wise and tuck it behind the couch during the day.


The one on the end may stay up there to provide extra storage for sleeping bags and pillows.

We bought 10 yards of 2 inch wide velcro. We used our glue gun to attach the rough side to the inside of the frame, and then sewed the fuzzy side to the canvas. It holds the canvas tight and we will be able to take it off and wash it.



We will get to test them out during the Memorial Day weekend. Destination is still to be determined.

I love the designer trailer! Are you posting these on an Airstream forum? We're still looking around at them and yours is far beyond the typical interior. great job! What does it look like when the bunks are not in use?
