1988 Lynx Trailer – Couch to Bed

August 27, 2018 by admin 1 Comment

When we bought the trailer the folding couch/bed had been stripped down to the frame and covered with plywood to make a permanent bed.  We thought about restoring the convertible couch, but decided it would be too much work and expense to re-upholster it.  We added a wood trim piece to the front edge of the bed.

Trailer DIY Project – Reclaiming a Cupboard

removing trailer microwave

The peach border around the microwave is the remains of our door frame.

TomCon was fully decked out for modern living, but camping is a more minimalist pursuit for us.  We decided to take out the microwave that had been installed so we could gain some more cupboard space.  Whoever installed the microwave cut a hole in the cupboard door and then nailed the remaining frame to the face of the cabinet. We were able to remove the narrow frame to start rebuilding the cupboard door.

We primed and painted the frame.  On one of our runs to Home Depot we saw some perforated sheet metal and thought that would add some interest to the door, instead of just using luan to fill in.

Craig cut the metal to fit and created a wood inner frame to cover the edge of the metal. Then we primed and painted it.  It made a great looking door!

Our cupboard was now available for our dishes, glasses (acrylic, of course) and a cute wine rack I found at Target. Cheers!
