    So cute! But I would need it to be a little wider. Maybe two feet wider. Then it would be alot easier to get into the bed.

    Cute. But I would put up sort of safety bar up above. Nobody wants to roll over and break an arm.

    For
    Canadian use, skip the A/C and put a toilet under the bench instead. Could curtain it with a slide around shower curtain rod. You could do some sort of fantastic fan in the roof, or a battery one, but with an opening up top, it wouldn’t take much power to keep the air moving in a Canadian summer. As for heating, I think that might be impossible. Maybe a small electric heater if solar working, but it can’t be counted on.
