Fold-Out Twin Bed

We decided to install this fold-out twin sized bed...not sure why, but why not I guess. We were going to have a sitting couch there anyhow; and since labor's free, I suppose my wife decided it could be useful somehow.

BTW: Notice the lower 1/2 interior panels are back in. They're tacked in with a few 1/8" rivets each for now, but at least they're not rolled up inside my garage anymore!

I just finished insulating the bottom 1/2 of the trailer. The ribs in the wall aren't uniformly spaced, and after pulling out the old insulation from the lower 1/2 and frame, I wasn't in a huge hurry to handle rolled insulation again. But isynene kits, the spray-on stuff, are about $1.33 a square foot, and only come in 200 sf (min) containers. So I went with the poor man's method and it really worked well.

I bought 4x8x3/4" sheets of R-Max foam panels and cut them to fit roughly...
