Twin Beds
My
Overlander came from the factory with a center double bed with facing
wardrobe/chest-o-drawers. My preference,
since I have two boys, was to have center twins
beds. Researching Airstream twin bed
sizes, I found that the existing center double bed, if left un-extended, was
the right size. Admiring its sturdiness,
and light weight design, I mirrored the design into the new twin bed. Made of Tennessee cherry, various stock plywoods, and cherry plywood recycled from the old
wardrobe, it even has the capability to extend like a double bed should I ever feel
the need to have a REALLY BIG bed. ![]()
