I have a Merhow with a 3 foot short wall, which I realize is pretty small, but if you were to put some type of basic living quarters in that size dressing room, what would you put in there.
Also, does anyone know about how much it would cost to put a cowboy shower in the third stall?

Actually you can install quite a bit on your 7' long wall. You can have a full galley, bunks, couch, bathroom, wall cabinets; your choice. The typical weekender has a four foot short wall, and eight foot long wall. This is enough space to enable a galley, cabinets and bathroom to be utilized. The installed equipment will depend upon what your priorities are.

Three feet should give you enough room to store a tent and a sleeping bag.... Mine is a 6 foot, I wouldn't want to go any smaller than that.
Oops, I misunderstood. I thought it was a 3 foot straight wall. Yes, you can do a lot with that. Mine is a 6 foot straight weekender, I LOVE IT, but we don't have kids so it works fine for us.

These are all trailers with a 4' weekender LQ. You could have much of any one of these interiors, with minor modifications. If you look closely, you will notice different layouts, and even different locations for the entry doors. Just some ideas.

We had a not quite 3 foot short wall, I guess that is what it was. There was less than 3 feet between the gooseneck and the slant wall. We built tons of cabinets, had a fridge, and microwave. Used the front stall as a bathroom with just a camping potty. We didn't have running water, but I wanted all the other amenities like places to put STUFF! We even had enough room for a kid or small adult to sleep on the floor!

Thank you for all the replies. The short wall is actually about 3 1/2 foot and the long wall is 8 foot, so after looking at some of the links listed, it does look like I can do quite a bit. It's only for one person, so I don't need all that much room.

We have a Merhow 4ft. short wall. Have everything we need in it. Fridge, sink, 2 burner stove. Hot water, cowboy shower in 3rd stall. Table. It's great for us (just the 2 of us) Been blessed not too many rainy days when we've gone camping. Most of the time we're outside anyway. Just need a place to fix meals and sleep. If we ever get to go bigger now I know what I'd like to change. That's a BIG IF~~~
Happy Camping
