Aha! Well your wings/wing-hinges blended in so well I couldn't even see them!

Thanks for getting back to me. I like the idea of a separate cushion so that you can use it as optional counter space. I tried a mock up of a counter-height counter in mine for awhile (but I did not need to sleep anyone there so it could be lower); yours lets you have both
You know I did find myself using it as a counter all weekend as I was working. I hadn't realized how valuable that is until you just mentioned it. There is really never enough counter space in a 13'.

Thank you!

Trailer: U-Haul 1985

I removed the upper bunk from my Uhaul because it made the seat too shallow when folded down (it became a backrest and I lost 8" of seat depth). But I really like the idea of having a large 'counter' as an option.
I will have to put on my thinking cap about this ....the counter could store under the front cushion when not in use, some sort of fold out hook / bracket support system on walls, and reuse front support legs. Or maybe support it with movable cabinets underneath. hmmmm.

Railing and ladder, Test fit. Picture 2 shows the clamp assembly. The ladder is attached to the railing unit which is clamped to the bed. The railing unit clamps to both wings of the bunk board to reinforce them. Entire unit can be unbolted and removed with 3 or 4 bolts.

Slightly off topic. Can someone recommend a top dressing for the carpet? Maybe a trim that glues on?

Mostly finished the bunk rail last night... Needs a little sanding and trim-up, but it's getting there. It clamps on, removes with 3 nuts, Very strong.

Sounds like it must be similar to the U-haul 13 in that way (which makes sense). On the U-haul, when you put the backrest down into "couch" position, the seat was only about 12" deep. Not too relaxing. That's one advantage to the Boler's roundiness in the front; the couch seat is pleasantly deep with the backrest down (of course all the various brands have their plusses and minuses though, so not picking on yours).
