Thanks for the response.
I think I also saw something about shipping costs and wood on their site. I was hoping CLC would sell plans for a stretched version, even if I had to get the wood elsewhere. One of the things I don’t like about their version is the lack of any storage inside the trailer. It seems to have a narrow shelf above the footwell and that’s it. I could add a very high shelf or even some kind of pockets but I would prefer just a smidge more space then that.
As for bunks, I was pretty sure I wasn’t explaining myself well. If I’m understanding the photos, without the galley module there is still a shelf and partition between the sleeping area and where the galley goes. If I left the shelf, but removed the vertical partition, I would create a sleeping space for a kid on that shelf that is open to the sleeping area. Not much headroom, which might be a deal breaker. With the stretched version, I could probably put the second kiddo under the shelf. My concern is compromising structural integrity without that vertical piece. Then once my kids are past the point of needing to be in the trailer, I can add the partition and galley module without too much work.
That is a beautiful trailer. I’ve looked at the normal CLC trailer, but your’s is more what I want. Have you showed this to CLC? I wonder if they would consider selling a kit for it. I don’t have the skills to figure out the mods so I would have to find someone to do that for me. Also, I have two kids, 5 & 15, and most of the time they can sleep in an attached tent, but the youngest still gets frightened. There also might be times where weather would drive them into the trailer. Do you suppose the galley could be replaced with a chuckbox and used as bunks until the kids are older? I would still have a bunk shelf that would go across the rear so I would imagine (with my very limited understanding) that would preserve the structural integrity. My current vehicle won’t tow more than 1200, so I have to keep the weight down too. Any idea what your beauty weighs?
