I'll probably be tapering the rear more which would center the bed more anyways. If I center it as I drew it, there would not be much room for access on either side. I want 2 bunks for the kids so maybe a bunk on either side in the rear would work better.
I suspect a trailer as long as you drew would need a second axle. If not for weight then handling. Also, your floorplan suggested interior space not fully used.



Bunks can use space well, especially if they fold (partially) for storage and elbow room when not being used. A pair of narrow 24" beds plus skimpy 24" isle to get between requires 6' width, inside.

Fun project. Keep up the great work!
