    Cut a bunch of holes in tour plywood so your mattress can breath. You need some airflow so you don’t get mold / mildew on the bottom of the mattress.

    Love this! I had the same idea after watching all these other complicated bed setups. This is so much more simple and configurable! Thanks for sharing!

    We bought a trailer the same size to travel with recumbent trikes. My husband would like to build our bed above the trikes and this looks like a great plan. Thanks for sharing.

    Thinking you need some holes or slots in plywood bed base.
    When sleep you sweat and mattress needs to breath and be ventilated. Other wise you will have moisture issues.

    Awesome video, thanks! I have the same size trailer and am going to do the same thing except I have to do the bed lengthwise because I’m too tall to go width wise. So it’s going to be a queen size bed that unfortunately takes up a lot more space inside the trailer than yours. Hope it turns out as well. Would love to see the details of how you finished trimming it out. Thanks again

  • @Dark_Knight_USA
    @Dark_Knight_USA 2 года назад +1

    Greetings: The mounting of the E-track rails being "level" is irrelevant since the trailer is mobile, therefore generally not "level". Perhaps wrong term. A common mistake.

      No issues. I’m pulling the trailer with my Jeep, toyota van, and my Range Rover. Surprisingly the Jeep handles best I think cause of the solid axles and it just feels more stable.

  • @spencerbaker7247

    What did you use to install the e-track since there's no plywood lining the trailer? Is it really that secure?

    • @4x2WagonFamily
      @4x2WagonFamily  4 года назад +5

      I secured the e-track to steel frame with self threading screw. We had 4 people on the bed and it felt secure. I would estimate 550 lbs on the bed:)

    • @haroldvillacorte2092
      @haroldvillacorte2092 3 года назад +2

      The screws are lined up vertically on the steel frame. I recommend removing the plywood walls at least once so you can see how it's put together. Don't sweat it, the walls are just 1/4 inch plywood screwed onto the steel frame, and the trim are just thin boards stapled onto the plywood.

    You crack me up, putting a level on your first bed joist. I would think it be more relevant to be parallel with the floor of the trailer as opposed to being level at this point no? Who knows if you have a low tire, or if your driveway is level?
