Ah, the scope! As this project is in it's infancy, and I have almost a year to figure out stuff, things are wide open.
The starting point is:
What can we live in for 6 weeks?
What is really light to tow?
It's gotta have a porta potty.
The wife likes to have a TV
I like to have a place to set up the laptop
And we have to be able to cook inside in case of rain
2 mini schnauzers can navigate the interior without getting hurt
Ok, in your original scope you didn't want the table to be part of the bed. Totally get that. But this latest concept has the bed folding into a couch. So what if you ditch the dinette and add a folding table on each side of the couch? That gives you a place for your laptop or eating. But would be out of the way and not taking up floor space when you aren't actually using it. How often will you use the bed and the dinette at the same time?
I've only flown 1st class once. But I'm trying to remember the details of the tray tables. They rotated out of the arm rest and then folded into position. This is exactly what I have in mind for the someday-maybe build that I still have to talk Z into.
Our goals will be very similar to yours: extended trips but not full time. But I'm firmly of the curtain is good enough persuasion And if it's raining, I ain't cooking. Making coffee or boiling water - definitely need to be able to do that inside. But real cooking (the kind that involves food that smells or contains grease) is not going to happen inside my camper. Got to have a sink for hand washing, teeth brushing, etc.
