Howdy. Yeah, I wish it was that simple. It's only a 14 ft x 7'4" wide inside area. I have already my freshwater tanks over the tandem axles, Dometic full size reefer over one tank and closet over the other.
If I put the bathroom in the middle then the freshwater tank would have to go to the front which doesn't solve the balance problem.
With the current floorplan I will simply be shifting the weight from the fresh water tanks to the waste tanks and more or less keeping the balance the same.
I do realize it's a pain, but seems doable.
Fact is, the idea of this whole RV project will seem unnecessarily complicated to some, it's certainly easier to just buy an RV which is why not many folks decide to build one.
I have specific wants that just aren't covered by traditional RVs. That said, there are downsides too to swimming against the current.
thanks,
CM
