Help...I"m needing ideas or input on ways to add bunk beds to my 2002 Kiefer Exiss bumper pull horse trailer. Anybody got pictures of what you've done?

The Genesis model usually has a good sized dressing room. I would look at the "Murphy beda that the RV industry uses. They fold down from the wall and hang from cables/chains. You would mount these on the slant wall. Good luck.

We have a 5th wheel Genises with a 8ft short wall and put bunk beds in it. We offset the beds so that one touches the wall under the nose and the top is as far against the back slanted wall as it can go - kids can easily sit up in both beds without hitting their heads. I can sit up all the way (5'5") without bumping my head but hubby is a few inches taller and has to be careful. Adds storage space too under the top bunk. We ordered mattresses online that are made for semi sleeper cabs because they are a few inches narrower than a regular single mattress. This was a DIY so I don't have any plans to share. Picture attached.

For ideas/reference, pics of BP LQ conversions are on the site listed below, which include a bunk bed setup
www.jbjconversions.com/
Only reason I know this is that they did a 4 Star BP that was advertised here awhile back. It is the last set of pics (sold though), but quite cool
Wish someone would offer a DWR type conversion instead of all the dark heavy wood that is typically seen in horse trailers. DWR hooked up with Airstream and created the great looking Bambi (think that's the name). Would love to see those materials used in some HT LQ's.

Thanks for the ideas. I did find a facebook page called Horse Trailer Conversions. So many creative people on there. There are a couple bumper pulls with sleeping conversions that are awesome. But most are made for one person, and I need sleeping for two. Maybe one day I will get a vision or see the vision of someone else and go for it. LOL Thanks again for your input.
