It seems a lot of people use extended counter tops to the side or simply use a the picnic table as an extended work area,, The galley per sa is the staging area for cooking, cleaning etc,,, I can fry and egg, make a sandwich, open a bag of chips, mix a drink and I am out of the kitchen ,,, so to speak
One good place to check out galleys is in the the Galley Gallery,, there are a lot of ideas ya can use in building yours,,,

My friend looking at my plans (and may be helping me build) mentioned that with the curve of the galley, and the counter being inset some inches (what? about 6" from the end of the trailer?) he was concerned that when standing at the galley, and having to bed forward some when doing food prep, etc that it could get uncomfortable. My plan is the regular 8' Kuffel creek cubby and he mentioned that a more square (rimple/benroy) design would make for a more comfortable kitchen.
Any thoughts? I never thought of this as a problem. I've been scouring for pictures where people are standing at their galleys, to get a good idea .
I'm 42 y/o and 5'7" ... I haven't thought of the galley counter being inset about 6" as being a problem.

Hey Girl,
One of the reasons that I settled on my grasshopper design was that I waned the galley counter as close to the rear of the trailer as possible. With the rear of the trailer being vertical I can move the counter to the back. I love to cook so this was important to me. My back doesn't like me to lean over too much and my shins aren't happy when I crack them against the rear of a trailer trying to reach the counter.
Today's task was measuring so I could mount the cleats that the counter sits on. Issue 1 - make certain that the counter allows the hatch to close, issue 2 - move the counter as far back as possible without causing a problem with issue 1. I should have pictures on my website by Monday morning.
For those of us who like to cook, this is an important design consideration. Getting the galley right will make it a joy to cook, get it wrong will make it miserable.
