Craig,
You may wish to place a support under the tail, so that it doesn't crash
down when you climb into the rear section! I seem to remember the crew of
the old DC4 placing such a support before loading or unloading cargo, to
avoid such embarrassment.
A general point for tri-gear owners is to make sure that both occupants do
not step on the rear of the wing walkway at the same time. I witnessed this
happen last year, and there was damage to the mainwheel spats (pants) that
appeared superficial but had interfered with one of the brake fittings.
The message is: always watch your weight and balance!

That was sort of along the lines I was thinking about, but mine is a trike,
so no leveler will be needed

I have a design for a number of devices about entry into the tail section,
one of which is adapted to a single bed. It requires a tailwheel lifter to
acquire a horizontal state though. I am planning
To revise another bar which could be used to lift the tailwheel securely
for that purpose. The head would then be forward between the 'headrests' and
one could then roll slightly to relieve the usual ennui.
I added a prelim sketch to the Fuselage Album in my Gallery corner. When I
go in headfirst, I crank up the tailwheel to level the 'bed' before entering
- I can't afford the excess blood wasted in my noggin otherwise...
