Next to trip reports, camper builds are one of my favorite threads to read so I'll be watching this one! Looking at the floorplan, I'll offer up two suggestions. First, switch the hinge side of the wardrobe door to the front of the camper. That way it'll swing up against the dinette which makes it more accessible for someone entering the camper and keeps from blocking the aisle when it's open. Second, move the stove to the opposite end of the counter. That way the window over the sink will be across from the dinette and you won't have an appliance that creates heat right next to an appliance that is trying to keep things cold. I realize this entails much more than just moving the stove though so may or may not work depending on what this impacts.
Thank you for mentioning moving the stove, that's actually something I was already considering, though I may delete the bathroom sink, as that's about where I plan to locate the furnace, so I may opt for a shallower recess to stow the medicine cabinet, and opt for more counter space in the kitchen.
Hopefully I can find a shower pan that I can adapt, otherwise I may get something fabbed out stainless steel for the bottom, shower walls will all be frp board, just as they were in the remodel I did on my current camper bathroom.
In theory, I could reuse our current holding tank, however, the tank is 40 years old and has become brittle, and i would prefer to find an abs tank, possibly a set similar to the ones I saw in the amerigo thread instead of the "nothing sticks to it" plastic the current one is made of.
Here's a blog from the Glen-L website from someone else who built an Everglade.
