Hi,
I had a huge wet bath in my 1972 Coachman 10' slide in camper. It also had basement storage, - well the dinette was raised and the black tank under it.
It had a forward bathroom, that took up the forward 3'. On the passenger side was a sink with shower hose and water heater under it to one side. Toilet more to the passenger side, within the bed 4' width and above the black tank. I would sit on it to take a shower. To the center, there was a hallway, and drivers side is a closet, when you open the door it closed the hallway for privacy. To the cabover was this nice orange plexiglass 3 screens, so privacy both ways there.
Going rearward from the drivers side closet, it had the converter under it, and fresh water tank on the floor as far forward as possible. Then the refrigerator, stove, counter, and sink near the door.
On the passenger side, forward is the bath, then the dinette was raised about 8" above the camper floor, so that it sat out over the edge of the pickup bed. It would have been perfect design for a slide out dinette too, but this was 15 years before campers had slide outs. A cabinet bunk was above the dinette, so it could sleep 6 when you include the queen size cabover bunk and dinette. I never had more than 2 sleep in it.
I like the idea of using a dually to carry a camper. You still have the ability to tow a horse trailer, or just about anything else you might want to, and the low profile will save some fuel compared to a normal height camper.
