I'd like to have an 18-20 inch deep kitchen on the rear doors, or at least some drop-down shelving to place a stove, water jug and sink on. I also saw a design with a large box cantilevered over the tongue. It had a side door with a pull out kitchen on rollers. The front box kitchen offers more room in the sleeper, but is more difficult to provide rain and/or shade for. Any thoughts? I too have the side rails on the trailer, so rear door makes a lot of sense.
6,000 miles later and the foamie is holding up much better than I could have imagined. I have had it through rain, snow, hail, and even hurricane force winds on the east coast as well as crazy cross winds through the mid-west and it has performed great. I have two rock "dents" on the front that I simply put a couple dabs of gorilla glue construction adhesive on to seal back up. The rear door is great and honestly the only option we had given our trailer. I wish I would have made the camper a foot wider because the trailer could accommodate that. With there being no wood in the camper I tried to limit the number of holes or complex forces being applied to it. Thus, I would recommend a tongue box or something that can bolt or set on the trailer rails if you are running a comparable set up. For our kitchen set up we have two plastic containers that we just toss on the bed and nest our bedding around so it lessens the bouncing as we drive. Then when we get to camp, we pull them out and either toss them in the car or under the trailer. It has worked for us thus far. Hope this helps.
