Few months have passed, and we're now nearing the time of the year in Oregon when its possible to build something outside without getting rained on.
I'm still doing some decision making, but I have a couple thoughts to bounce off folks that may be in the know.
1.) Can anyone see a good reason to not locate the propane tank compartment underneath the fridge? I'm still trying to settle on a home for it, and its bounced around from being original underneath the wardrobe cabinet, to being down near the bathroom to my current contemplation of it being beneath the fridge.
I've seen it done this way before, seaeagle's old Kamp King had this exact configuration, just on the opposite side as where I wish to put it.
2.) Does anyone see any issue of putting the furnace under the wardrobe cabinet (which would allow me to reuse part of the existing wardrobe cabinet in the new one). I would likely end up having to run the gas line along the underside of the floor, but I've seen that done on many RVs, so not a big concern.
I've also debated modifying the design to add a basement for the tanks, similar to the mid-to-late 70s KITs had, but doing some would require major changes to the wall plans to make the inside tall enough to allow for a good basement plus the 2x3 timbered floor that I already planned.
The snap N Nap is still out there, but I'm more hoping against hope on finding a donor rig to get that off of if I find one by some chance rather than engineering one from scratch.
At this point the camper is likely going to be sided in two materials, somewhat in the fashion of an Amerigo that had aluminum style siding in the middle and fiberglass front and rear, I'll be fiberglass (filon) on the rear and aluminum on the rest to cut down the aluminum costs (I'd go with all new aluminum, but at the current ridiculous prices for aluminum siding, that's not going to happen).
