I looks like you'll have a wheel well coming up and in the way of your porta potta. Of course you could always build a platform for an elevated porta potty.

The quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten, so build your teardrop with the best materials...

:thinking: The axle/wheel well looks like it would be better located just under the forward bed , leaving the potty area open ... somewhat ... :roll:
The bed in the back and what's stored underneath it :o gets heavy quick ... just a thought for "tow-ability"

Unless that meant you ran out of headroom, in which case adding a Flying Fortress top turret would make a stylish addition - and give the opportunity for an all-round view while you were 'engaged'.

Thank you both. I could do either and it would work well. The angled table may leave me more space for storage. I really do not plan on losing enough weight that 6 inches of space will be sufficient. As far as loo with a view.....interesting, but very strange.

Being a rather Large frame person myself , I devised a sorta’ ‘biological “ method for determining minimum entry width ... Spread both hands/fingers out fully , thumb to thumb, measure the distance (mine’s roughly 20â€

Windows are nice , 60mph seems a reasonable tow speed ... 85 does not ... :o
Are you looking for windows ... ???

I really like what you did for windows...They are functional, and thrifty. I was just admiring their construction yesterday. I was thinking windows instead of a bathroom fan...not really...but what the hey. :lol:
