Ar moire (Front storage Cabinet)





We opted not to use the door but if you decide to then it's designed to use a European style frame-less full overlay hinge

Front Bunks

There isn't a Cut Sheet for these as I used some bed frames I got on sale at Ikea, I included the only pertinent measurement on the picture which is the replacement legs to turn two frames into bunks.

Bathroom







The wall facing the bunk beds was made from a whole 3/4" sheet of plywood to account for all of the attachments to it i.e. the bunks are screwed to it to stabilize, the TV is hooked to that wall under the top bunk and there will be an eventual vanity cabinet hung from it so I didn't want to chance missing blocking.

Kitchenette





These are designed to use a European style frameless concealed hinge with a 1/4" overlay and full extension side mount drawer track.

Sorry to hear about the surgeries, glad they worked for you both.

Thanks for all the details, PDFs and such. All will be helpful to a lot of folks.

It's been a little while since I've posted but I'm back to work!


These are the remaining cabinet pieces I need to install.

The bridge cabinet over the rear window.
This was such a tight fit I had to take it apart and install it in pieces!

I even upgraded the pantry with a pull out!

This came about because we were trying to store the vacuum wand in there and doing so had in the past created a lot of wasted space. The shelf at the bottom of the cabinet is now permanent so the vacuum motor can be stored underneath. (You can see it behind the roll out)

The bench seating going in!

Besides storage this is where I have the power connection to the fold out room (the loose wire in the pic) I'm also locating an additional 30A shore power line for the ducha.

Now that I'm done with the bench, on to the bathroom!

Had to look up ducha. So are we talking about the electric instant hot water shower head? Brilliant idea. A little scary at first blush but if it works, way cool.. er, hot! I'll be interested to hear how well it works. That is a dynamite trailer you have built. Great job!

Thanks McDave, it does work pretty well! We first had the chance to experience duchas on a mission trip to Honduras although theirs were a little more scary 220v! researching these it was apparent that spot heating water is a pretty big thing in European countries there are even sink faucet models!

Scary is what I thought at first too having an "electric" shower head but if you logically reason it out it's really no different than having a batch tank with "electric" elements in it, both come in contact with water.

This unit is the 120v variety it doesn't get the water as hot as the 220v but it does a good job! We ended up with this unit because of a slab leak in our house. Our hot water line ruptured on New Years day back in 2017, the outside temps were around 30-40 degrees (I live in Florida) so the mean temp coming out of our faucets were around 50 degrees way too chilly for me even doing a sailor shower. The second week in without hot water (we were waiting on the insurance company to approve the claim) I remembered our experience with duchas and decided to track one down, I was tired of having to wake up at 4 in the morning to boil water and put in a solar shower bag for 3 people.

I am so glad I did. It took six months for them to approve our claim to have the house re-piped

This unit has 3 temperature settings but you really regulate them by how much water flows through, now being that this is only a 120v unit you are not going to be taking super hot showers because the temperature of the supply water is also a factor, but the results from this small unit are impressive to me and the family, It took our 50 degree water supply and raised it to 107 degrees! which was actually enjoyable plus being tankless you can take as long a shower as you want
