This one has an approx 4'8" x 5'6" bunk and a 4'8" x 6' sleeping area on bottom. The front arch is probably too pronounced - it only has to hold clothes & stuff. The galley will be whatever's left after the 6' sleeping area is sectioned off and it will be swing-out or slide-out.
I planned on doing walls of 1 by and foam insulation board, 3/8" ply on the outside and 1/4" luan on the inside. Is that the lightest way to go, short of duct tape or epoxy-coated fabric?

I drew up a goofy looking bean shape this weekend, though, that should sleep all of us on a 5x8 frame with the wheels on the outside. Will try to get it scanned ... schedule is packed today.
