Mobile Bunkhouse Trailer

Abstract

A bunkhouse trailer is provided that includes a plurality of bunk bed assemblies. The trailer has a plurality of interior barrier walls defining isolated living spaces between the lower and upper beds in each of the bunk bed assemblies. The individual accommodations for each user eliminates shared spaces where surface contamination may lead to disease transmission. In some embodiments, the air handling within each individual accommodation is configured to reduce the risk of cross-contamination between users.

1 . A trailer comprising:
 a trailer body defining an interior space;   a bunk bed assembly within the interior space, wherein the bunk bed assembly comprises a lower bed and an upper bed;   a plurality of barrier walls defining a first individual space that includes the lower bed and a second individual space that includes the upper bed;   a first door movably attached to the trailer body to access the first individual space;   a second door movably attached to the trailer body to access the second individual space;   a first return vent within the first individual space to expel air out of the first individual space and a second return vent within the second individual space to expel air out of the second individual space;   a first air supply vent within the first individual space to supply conditioned air to the first individual space and a second air supply vent within the second individual space to supply conditioned air to the second individual space, wherein the first air supply vent and the second air supply vent are positioned remote from the first return vent and the second return vent to prevent introduction of air expelled out the first return vent and the second return vent from being introduced into either the first fresh air intake vent or the second fresh air intake vent;   a HVAC unit configured to supply conditioned air to the first air supply vent and the second air supply vent, wherein the first air supply vent and the second air supply vent are fluidly connected with ducting so that conditioned air supplied by the HVAC unit supplies conditioned air into both the first individual space and the second individual space; and   wherein the plurality of barrier walls prevent air flow between the first individual space and the second individual space, thereby isolating the first individual space and the second individual space from each other.   
     
     
         2 . The trailer of  claim 1 , wherein the trailer body includes a first exterior wall and a second exterior wall, wherein the first door is attached to the first exterior wall of the trailer body and the second door is attached to the second exterior wall. 
     
     
         3 . The trailer of  claim 2 , wherein the first exterior wall and the second exterior wall extend approximately parallel with respect to each other. 
     
     
         4 . The trailer of  claim 3 , wherein the lower bed and the upper bed extend approximately transverse to a longitudinal axis of the first exterior wall and the second exterior wall. 
     
     
         5 . The trailer of  claim 4 , wherein the first door is aligned on the first exterior w all approximately opposite the second door on the second exterior wall. 
     
     
         6 . The trailer of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of barrier walls includes a first barrier wall that extends transversely to a longitudinal axis of the lower bed and the upper bed. 
     
     
         7 . The trailer of  claim 6 , wherein the first barrier wall includes a first portion that extends between a floor and a ceiling of the first individual space and the second individual space. 
     
     
         8 . The trailer of  claim 7 , wherein the first barrier wall includes a second portion that extends between the floor of the first individual space and the second individual space and the lower bed. 
     
     
         9 . The trailer of  claim 8 , wherein the plurality of barrier walls includes a second barrier wall that extends approximately parallel to a longitudinal axis of the upper bed between a bottom of the upper bed and the ceiling. 
     
     
         10 . The trailer of  claim 9 , wherein the plurality of barrier walls includes a third barrier wall that extends approximately parallel to a longitudinal axis of the upper bed between the lower bed and the upper bed. 
     
     
         11 . The trailer of  claim 10 , wherein the second barrier wall and the third barrier wall combine to extend an entire length of the lower bed and the upper bed. 
     
     
         12 . The trailer of  claim 1 , further comprising a first step assembly movable between a retracted position within the trailer and an extended position that provides a transition between an egress surface and the first door. 
     
     
         13 . The trailer of  claim 12 , further comprising a second step assembly movable between a retracted position within the trailer and an extended position that provides a transition between an egress surface and the second door. 
     
     
         14 . The trailer of  claim 13 , wherein the first step assembly moves in a first direction when moving to an extended position and the second step assembly moves in a second direction when moving to the extended position, wherein the first direction is opposite the second direction. 
     
     
         15 . The trailer of  claim 1 , wherein the trailer body includes a ceiling and a floor, wherein the first return vent and the second return vent are configured to expel air out of the floor. 
     
     
         16 . The trailer of  claim 15 , wherein the first air supply vent and the second air supply vent are configured to supply conditioned air through the ceiling.
