Please vote for your favorite Generic Standy

[Kankujoe]

I voted for D although the more I look at the floor plan I'd go with A. Too bad I can't go back & change my vote.

From all the plans I've seen so far on this forum I really would prefer to play with extending the WW/EH about 12-18 inches with a possible slide out of one side of the door a table/countertop mount on the opposite side as a walk through (wrap around) galley. An awning could jut out over the outside galley 3-6 feet. With this you could have a small inside galley, a larger outside galley & a porta potty indoors opposite to the inside galley.

Sorry for the temporary highjack...

All of the floor plans look nice but I think "A" is the my choice if I had to choose only one.

Voted for C, like the form / profile best; but want you to move A's coffee pot to C

[mikeschn]

LOL...

Steve, you are the reason we are all looking at standys... so I think that counts for something...

Mike...

Ok, this is so blatantly rigged as there is no option for the SP3000. (Super Puffin 3000)

Walks back in and votes.

I voted for A which still retains a teardrop style profile. Having the bathroom and inside sink at opposite ends from the galley will need additional plumbing. Installation of fresh/grey/black water tank installation (if any) will need creative planning.

I am glad Mike started this thread.

Mike I liked both "A" and "D".

But I can only vote for one.
I guess it will be "A" but I like both.

Can someone explain to me why there is not very much interest in design C? I thought the galley being open to the inside AND the outside would make this ideal for a hurricane trailer, or a foul weather trailer. And the coffee pot can go where the stove is... and you can have a bathroom sink in that area too. Furthermore, it's easy to package in a 12' long trailer. Please enlighten me...

I didn't vote for it because in the original drawing it looked like the wheel wells encroached in the cabin and the bath. It still looks like they are too far forward but that is probably just what I think and not real.

The new picture helps.

Mike,

I thought the wheel location was a little too far forward, but I envisioned a galley that was heavily loaded. If it was kept simple it makes a lot of sense. The height of the counter-top height accessed from both sides was a consideration as well. On the plus side would be frame design, a drop floor behind the axle would be easy to implement and could be a simple rectangle from just in front of the door to the galley bulkhead going all the way across to include most of the porta/shower room. If torsion half axles were used the drop floor could be extended forward between the axles up to between the bunks. Given more thought, it was probably just the pretty colors of the original drawing of choice "A" that influenced my vote.

I picked "E" simply because of my little "Master Carpenter In Training" He is still going on and on about when we are going to start building our "house trailer!"

I don't care for fast drop of the front profile; on the whole it reminds me of a bean.

I also think that it will make the interior feel quite closed in.

If you're lounging on the couch it will be hard to put your back forward and your feet aft and get comfortable because of the low ceiling height getting ever lower as it moves forward.

Also compared to "A" (or the other some of the other designs there's much less storage space and it's hard to access and less usuable in shape (like the rounded floor under the galley).

And I agree with others, the wheelwells look like they'd be tough to work around; in the drawing all of the proposed space ahead of the toilet is consumed by wheelwell. And the one on the right looks like it would force the bed/dinette seat quite high.

I chose "D", assuming the sofa folds out into a bed, thus allowing the dining table to remain up overnight. I don't like the idea of having to collapse a table to make a bed. With this option you can leave all your potato chips and beverage cans on the table overnight. I like the galley pass-through window too.

I didn't pick A because it has an open galley to the cab of the trailer. I built the tear for survival in very cold weather, and the open to the elements galley cab, just goes against the design idea's I have been working with. I still have not seen a tear except in pictures, an that might effect my judgement... Jim G

I picked E because of the nice blue upholstery.

And C wasn't even an option for me because I hate yellow.

Plus, where the hell am I going to find 5-foot wide yellow ply down here anyway?

D

I voted for D. I like the looks of it best, but I'm not sure the "reach into the kitchen" would be very useful. It seems it would just take away from the useable space in the galley area on that wall. They all seem a little short to me to be a standie, and I'm only 6'.
