I have one question in re: this renovation. Are you concerned with weight at all? Seems like some of your 2x4 could have been 2x3 if weight were a concern.
I am keeping weight distribution in mind,though, I'll be shaving some more off when I get to the dinette. The steel water tank is on the left side forward. The blackwater tank is amidships rear, my new heater is 50 lbs. lighter than the oiginal furnace and the fridge replacement will subtract another 50+ lbs.. I think I may have removed 500+ lbs of cabinety, partitiions, drawers, doors, and whatnot. I think I'm still on the low side, but it will be interesting to scale it when I'm done.
