So I'm planning on a design a bit like this:

The bed will be raised _but removable_ (i.e. two "ladders")
The "bulkhead" by the sink will not be full height.
However, the shower/loo cubicle will be floor to ceiling and needs to be well secured. If I do this after the walls and ceiling, I am left with the conundrum of how to secure it without having ugly braces/blocks on one side or the other of the walls. Some I can hide in the garage / bench seat, but in particular, I am thinking of the ceiling.
I could do it inside the shower and lower the ceiling there a bit, but I am 6'1" so would rather avoid that.
Also, there will be raised storage either side of the shower that I could possibly hide some bracketing in.
The other option that springs to mind is to put the bulkhead walls in _before_ the ceiling / walls. Then cover the blocks/braces with the ceiling/wall covering. However, this may make it harder to do walls etc.
MrsMoosehead thinks I should do proper framed walls, but that will take up precious space. But she may have a point. She often does.
@egg-fried-rice any advice from yours, which seems similar - i.e. single skin ply walls.
Thanks in advance for all your wise words
