On the other twin did you attach the cross support to the airstream wall, and if so how do you find the studs, and finally what kind of plywood for the bed, 3/4, 1/2 or 3/8



Thanks for any help or hints.

I believe I used aluminum l angle for the brace, it lined up at the rivet line. I drilled out the rivets and put screws to hold the angle in place. I reused the 3/16 plywood that was on the queen for the port side and put 3/4 birch the the starboard side. I believe I made the beds 36” and had 22” in between. Good luck

I know this is an older post but hope to see an answer.... did you cut the bottom of the cabinet off on the "short" side? What supports it now?


Where did you find the tanbour doors? What a great idea.


How did you insulate the hot water heater so i did not warm up the foot of the bed?


Thanks.
