1969 Trailer Remodel

6 years ago

Hello all! I have been remodeling a 1969 12 x 65 trailer in Northern Mi. It’s Getting time to think about couches- It’s only two bedrooms, so I definitely need a sleeper sofa. I’ve already bought a kitchen table that’s being shipped right now and I am thinking about a sleeper sectional. These are two different styles and I’m just wondering what everybody thinks. Nervous about mixing styles. Looking for a smaller scale and found apt2b Marco sleeper, but it’s too pricey. Thanks!!

    I would not cram a sectional into the space a 12’ wide LR is not big and why do you need a sleeper at all with 2 bedrooms? Maybe a bit more info about your needs might help.BTW those dining chairs you show I would advise you sit in one in a pair of shorts before buying. If you can post a to scale floor plan of the living space and it will help us help you.

    I have had the chairs for over ten years, so not an issue-I must have a tough tush. Lol Nope- 2 beds is not enough. I have a sleeper on my 3 season porch and a blow up mattress. Lots of guest- everyone loves the beach I guess. I will make a scale floor plan when I finish painting my new dry wall. Thanks for your input.

    Looks like you could have a great space for a smallish sectional and it seems like good solution for extra sleeping. Someone can sleep in the fold out bed and maybe have their child sleep on the other part of the sectional. Post dimensions and I'm sure people will help.

    Lol HomeChef - I agree!! So I posted better pictures. Couch I have is about 15 years old and never fit the space properly, but it was in the clearance center and seemed to work for the last 15 years. I just measured the dimensions and the width of the room is 11 1/2 x 16 1/2 long. Thanks everyone for your input. Maybe I should just go with sleeper sofa. Just I really like the way a sectional looks and it just gives me so much more seating.

    How often do guest sleep over? If just occasionally, just get a comfy sofa (or keep the sectional until it wears off) and use your airbed when needed.


    Like Patricia mentioned, how many people in your household? What is the 2nd bed used for now, kid(s), parents?

    Sounds like a great project. Would love to see the floor plan. Also, is this for trailer camping? Or is it already on a permanent piece of land?

    This place has been permanent for all of its’ 50 years- even has a basement under the 3 season porch. Debated trashing it and upgrading, but decided to remodel- weird, but I love it.
    By floor plan, do you mean a drawing of the room?
    Guest pretty much every weekend Memorial Day through Labor Day. 2nd bedroom is a spare. Kids are grown.

    Is there a reason your guests can't sleep in the spare bedroom? Or do you have multiple guest staying over at the same time?

    Floor plan. A line drawing of all the rooms from above so we can see the sizes and relationships of all the rooms.
