If you want to add sleeping space, you could always reconfigure for more bunks or use cots. If you can, put a sleeper convertible couch inside. A tent away from the parents was also always better for kids.
I would suggest that you use what you're putting the labor into before flipping it. It may be a delight for you and an upgrade and more fixing may be a harder route.
I plan to use it until school starts, so I can get some traveling in before are 12 yr old starts school again. My wife and I had two kids early on and then took a long break and had a late child. He has not got to do all the things we did with our first two. Of course with our first two we were poor and young, so we roughed it with tents. Older now, a little more money with bad backs, and not able to rough it like we did back then. It's trailer time!
Yeah, my older kids can sleep in tents if they want to camp with us. They are young still. lol!
