Two things -
Put two doors in. You'll never be sorry.
Think about a place for an A/C unit. The hatch below the galley could be one place.
Kudos on thinking big on the wheels. Less sway, better tracking and overall towing. Plus, they don't have to go around as fast.

So far I LIKE your design....

Why the suicide doors?
It's a real nice design though! How much space do you have inbetween the wheel wells? You wouldn't want it to be too tight, like this...

And that head end storage
Since these pics I've trimmed ll the outside edges with aluminum angle and will be plating the lower section with aluminium diamond plate tomorrow. Also bought my queen size mattress today.
My track matches my Cherokee and there is still 4 feet between the wheel wells, you don't need as much space at your knees as you do at the shoulders and in testing I don't find it a problem.
Suicide doors are harder to seal and, have the hinge on the short side and if they pop open on the freeway bye bye door.
Cheers
