The Orient Express or The Way

Well....I downloaded Sketchup, taught myself the basics, and threw together a design. I wanted something a little roomier but with no foot well (might change my mind). i also want a little storage.

It should be 5x5x12. If I'm gonna stretch the plywood might as well go 1 and 1/2 length.

Nothing too unique about it, 'cept maybe the lazy susan entertainment/snack center. Allows for watching movies outside or inside as well as access to snacks and such from inside or out.

Goona have to adjust the rear storage to allow for wheel wells, but not sure how much till I get the old pop up trailer stripped and see where I want the wheels to be.

The bed will fold too a couch. Overstock.com looks to have what we need.

Windows have been left out of the design, until I find what I'm using.

Anywho...let me know what you think.

Man this site rocks. I have gleaned a LOT of information.

That lazy susan idea is a good one. I'm surprised no one else has thought of it before this. The oriental writing on your cabinet doors must mean something but I haven't got a clue. Can you tell us?

Ah yes....the symbol. Forgot to mention that. It is tattooed above my left pec... at least it was a pec when it was put there. It's the symbol for Taosim and means "The Way." It's a philosophy by which I try to live.

With that, "The Way" is a very appropriate name for your new teardrop. :thumbsup:
