* When you add to the frame length, be sure to keep the 60/40 front-to-rear balance ratio in mind. I didn't, adding 2 feet to the rear, and only 1 foot in front, to make my 50" x 60" original frame into a 4x8 size. It turned out to be my biggest mistake, so please don't make the same one on yours.DaveInConesus wrote:I am going to get to 9' by extending forward of the front cross member onto the tongue triangle and maybe a bit at the rear also....Dave

Ah, you have discovered the crux of the whole matter.....proportion! I don't believe you are overthinking this; your existing design will probably fulfill your needs, but you will also have to be able to live with what it ultimately looks like. It seems doubtful that you will be able to incorporate your design criteria (6' 6" interior) into your existing plan and still have it pleasing proportion-wise.
