A post in the construction subseries of the off-the-grid main series of posts.
In the last post, I considered using the quonset on the trailer. Now that the trailer is ordered, I'm changing my plans again. Instead of a quonset, I'll use a simple construction method of applying plywood to a rectangular frame, and then insulating it. The frame will be attached to the trailer, while being built on top of it.
Then the Murphy Bed will be installed inside the 5x8 trailer. Each end will be able store things under the bed. Hence a bathroom area will be on one side of the tent and a freezer and electrical system at the other end. A door will access each. Perhaps the freezer can stay with the shower as it will need more room to open its door.
A solar panel can be placed on the roof.

| No quonset on this version. It's virtue is in its simplicity. |
The Murphy Bed will deploy on hinges, much like the hinges on a standard door. It will rise up 3 feet from a 3 foot base. The 3 foot base is necessary so as to be able to place things on the floor and for the bed to have clearance over these things. The roof must be six feet tall, at least. Since it is a 3 foot base, and when not being used, there will be 5 feet of floor space for other activities.
