Nope. Not going to happen. There is no actual bed and the dinette is part of the ATV cargo area - it folds up to make room for the ATV.

The lack of an actual bed, or a bedroom for that matter, is one of the downsides of this trailer. Then again, it's not like I'm planning to have more than 3 people sleep in there.

Several years ago I was having some heating issues and I tracked it down to the very CHEAP ducting the manufacturer used in the trailer. several locations were torn allowing heat into compartments. Duct tape fixed it for the trip. I found some heavy duty insulated ducting. Something like this. I had to work around the extra thickness as the duct came through walls and such, but it made a huge difference. Now the cabinets are basically ambient temp and the air coming out of the ducts can toast a smore....

I still have one to do, but I have to remove the divider between the cabinet and the water heater to route the ductwork.

I am looking at insulating the underside of the trailer with insulation and Coroplast to protect it. I have a carpet pad that goes below the roll-up carpet and that help keep out a bunch of cold, so this should help also.

I will make a post when I do the project this summer.
