24 foot Class B Questions
Our old 2000 van has cost us plenty this year. We take good care of it and are up with the maintenance but things happen. This year alone we have replaced all six tires, new rear brakes, new motor...

Like I noted elsewhere: I looked at a 2012 Roadtrek Adventurous yesterday and simply could not understand the logic of having the galley on the drivers side. Nice rig. Dumb layout.Sorry.I am a pragmatic(but good-natured) design engineer--not of RVs, of course.
Hi David.Thought you were on a long trip.

We have a Roadtrek C190P with the galley on the drivers side, and like it there. You have to remember that it was put there before the (in our opinion unnecessary) megabaths started to appear in B's, so all the windows of the Chevy/Dodge side doors were usable and had windows. When they started putting full height/width bathrooms in, there just wasn't room for the bath on passenger side (look at a Roadtrek 190 with a permanent bath), so many moved them. They also left out all the floor to ceiling cabinets on the passenger side, for "openness", at the expense of storage.
DW is moderately claustrophobic, and had lots of trouble in the vans with a floor to ceiling wall of bathroom and cabinets down the driver side, with no windows or spaces from the front seat to the bed. She had no trouble with the considerably smaller inside Roadtrek, and all we can figure out is that the area in the middle of the van widens out to the counterspace, with light from a window, so there is alternating space on each side as you move to the rear. I am not claustrophobic, but the appearance of one side wide open and the other solid does feel unbalanced to me. To each their own, I guess, but it is nice to be able to see out that side and get some light in. Just how much time do folks spend in the kitchen cooking that it makes a difference? I would bet we don't spend more than 10 minutes a week, as we cook outdoors all the time, so conversation is not an issue.
