I uesed the trailer a few times last summer and fall. I have taken it out this spring once. What I have noticed is, one, I never use the bathroom, and two, I don't like the sleeping setup. The front table folds into a bed, and I have two twins.

So, here is my crazy idea. Once I have the bathroom floor repaired, instead of putting the bathroom back in, since I doubt I will ever use it, build bunk beds in the bathroom area. I know that I will have to move a couple things, but it should not be an issue.

What do you think? Any structural issues with putting beds where the bathroom was?

Thanks,
I don't think it would be a structural issue, but it might throw the balance of the trailer off. You may wind up having to pack more stuff forward to get the desired tongue weight.

Aside from that... You might not care about the bathroom NOW, but wait until your camping in the pouring rain and you need to go to the bathroom a 3AM - you'll wish you'd left it in...
