Since the other thread turned into a discussion of leaking slides Laughing, I thought I'd start over.

The GOAL is to have sleeping arrangements in the bedroom where the wife and I can sleep comfortably and get up without climbing over each other in what is now a standard rear bed coach. I can't help but believe this is a fairly common desire for many of us.

So the options, as I think I see it, are:

1- Stretching. Within my skills but I don't really want to do it.
2- Enlarging the rear cap, that is a pseudo stretch. Lots of work but I'm more than capable of the metal shaping and it's what I do for fun anyway.
3- Utilizing the cubic feet we have better.
4- Whining less and just learning to live with it.

What I'd like to talk about in this thread is #3.

Yesterday, the wife and I were talking about putting bunks in the rear. I can see how it can work and accomplish the goal. The wife can sleep fine in the standard bed so the blanket storage on the right side wouldn't have to change. Obviously, the rear cabinets would have to be modified. However, there is a possibility for some additional cabinets that could be built depending on the actual configuration.

I know at least one person has put bunks in the rear because they PMed me last night. I'd love to see some photos of other coaches that have done this. I've been through all the interior albums on the photo site and haven't seen anything.

So how about it? Who's done it? How? What works, doesn't, what would you do different? Photos?

Thanks in advance.
