New to forum, soon-to-be former travel trailer owner, would like to know if anyone is sleeping width-wise in a ft little guy. We have a 3 and 5 year-olds that often like to sneak into bed with mom and dad. Doubt they would sleep in thier own tent. Anyone sleeping more than 2 in a 6 ft little guy by laying the wrong way? Thanks!

No, too little. You might have to hang the little ones from the ceiling...seriously.

or buy them their own... kids LOVE these little trailers... it's like their own little house..

Or seriously just leave one door open and put the tent directly up next to your open door so they don't feel so 'alone' .

Agree with the side tent option.

If you didn't have cabinetry it might be doable. Cramped, but doable.

No way with the stock cabinets.

If you're over 5'7" or so you'd not be very comfortable sleeping sideways in a 6'wide.

I have not seen the inside however it might be doable if you have about 18 inches to build a cot for your little one. nawlinsteardrop did one in a Yoder for his little girl that worked great. It went up for sale recently and ebay still has the pictures of what he did at: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Teardrop-Camper-Yoder-Toter-5X10-Trailer-Solar-Inverter_W0QQitemZ250253557887QQihZ015QQcategoryZ50063QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

At it's highest point, without a matress inside, the interior height is 42.25" A small portion of the interior has that clearance.

Bunkbed -- claustrophobic, at best.

Yeah, two adults and 1 (small) child for a 6 Wide is about it - no matter what angle you sleep in. Look into the PahaQue screenroom made for Little Guy Teardrops. Since the PahaQue connects to your LG, you can leave the LG door open and keep an eye on everyone or have one adult and 1 kid in each area.
