'71 Starcraft Wanderstar- "The Hilton"

We're running neck and neck on the paneling, Bro. I still have the bathroom walls and vaious partitions to skin, also any cupboard or shelving unit ends and such. It is a good feeling to get all the walls and ceiling done, though.
The Hilton is a 22' trailer but I measure 18' across the floor and 19'6" at it's longest interior dimension. I don't think it matters if it's >30', it would still be all squeezed up inside, lol. I was just out there brainstorming different areas and I'm trying to get every inch I can in certain areas. Bunks keep shrinking and doorways are getting smaller. What is the width of your bunks, if you don't mind? I was looking at a target width of 34-36" but that seems excessive when I actually put a piece of plywood of that size in the trailer. I'm OK with a 75" length but anything I can chop off the width would be a good thing. Mattress's and/or cushion size isn't an issue, I can make those to any size.

I'm making my lower bunk (my bed) sized to accommodate a regular twin mattress, so roughly 76 x 40 or so. I've got a 90" x 48" space in back for the beds and even if I made my bed smaller that room would be useless for anything else. The upper bunk will be slightly smaller and I'll just use a foam mattress for that. I'll tell you what, since I put the bathroom back in this camper has gotten small! A couple buddies were just over and 3 of us in there was tight. But in the end it's just me using it and sometimes my son so no worries.
