Framing the bedroom was fairly simple- just used the same materials as we did for the bathroom. We did have to account for the fresh water tanks and hot water heater which will be underneath the mattress. One of our fresh water tanks is 45 gallons, the other is 35 gallons. Plenty of water for us! Our hot water heater, on the other hand, is only 6 gallons, so we will definitely have some adjusting to do there- quick showers only! <The dogs love to watch what loud tools we using, haha! The hot water heater is not currently completely installed but we have the hole cut for the access panel on the outside. Access to the fresh water tanks is mounted outside the bus as well so we can either use a gravity fill or just fill up at a fill up station and use the water pump. There is a lock on this access panel so no one can sneak into our water supply. Our water tanks have an electric sensor on them so when the water gets to a certain level, it notifies us so we don't run out without knowing. We will also have access to the shut off valves for these tanks within one of the cubbies on the side of the bed. More details on that in the next post. We used a slatted design using 1 x 2's for our bed frame because we wanted to keep it fairly light weight (we will later put gas shocks on the "lid" to make it more easily assessable), and also to let air circulate through the mattress. You can see in the right picture access to the water pump and in front of that will just be extra storage, most likely for seasonal clothes/supplies.
