We use a 10x20' ez-up on the side of our Boler. We also use screening for the 10x10 square next to our camper and a 10x10 tent for the other half.

My wife and I and our kids sleep in the Boler and my in-laws sleep in the tent on cots and heated blankets if needed.

We have 70sqft of interior space and the inlaws use 100sqft.

Using the screening, we can move the picnic table inside. This allows us to cook and eat comfortably when the bugs come out.

It is possible to install triple bunks in the front. I removed everything in the front to start. Cut the support for the lower bunk off the shell. Installed the bottom bunk on the floor, the middle bunk is between the original bunks, and the top bunk splits the window. Each bunk ends up with about 22 inches of space. The original cushions worked out, top for top and bottom for bottom. The middle bunk turns out fairly large. I used a mattress topper for the mattress and cut to shape.

I am not a professional, this is my first camper and was my first time working with fiberglass. If you have common sence and understand wood work this can be a diy project. The pictures are of Fiberglassing the support for the top bunk and making a template of the middle bunk.
