Before I start tearing this 2 x 3 out, I want to know if anyone has any good ideas on removing the construction adhesive between the 2 x 3 and the 1/8 inch thick plywood?
Obviously, the plywood isn't going to take much abuse, but the 2 x 3 will.
From searching on the web, recommendations were to use heat, with either a heat gun or hair dryer.
Anyone else have a better suggestion that won't tear up the wall, so I can move the wall another 6 inches?

Some days, in spite of your best efforts to plan things ahead of time, during the middle of said efforts, you can suddenly look at things differently, even though you thought you knew what you were doing.
Confused? Me too. Lol.
Left turn Clyde......
After shuffling things around a bit, and standing inside the toilet area, it occurred to me, that if I move the one wall about 6 inches, we could share the toilet area with the shower area, and have plenty of room for both.
That would eliminate having to lift up the kitchen counter, and allow me to move the kitchen sink to the left a bit, which would give us more usable, uninterrupted counter space.
The original bath/shower area was about 24 x 36. The back third of the shower area, was a seat, so that was of no value for taking shower.
After talking to the wife a little bit, yes, she is okay with that, I think that is what I am going to do.
Here's a pic of where the wall would be, after moving it. It allows for what feels like a lot of extra room in the shower area, while taking little area out of the kitchen.
We can cover the toilet with a piece of plastic during showers, and/or use a shower curtain to keep the walls dry, or not. We'll have to play with it a little.
Unless, something changes my mind, I think I'll be making the change.

I built a platform today and proceeded to put the original toilet on top of said platform to see how things would look.
I wanted to make sure I had enough of room to get in there, turn around, and take care of any business that needed to be taken care of.
So far, so good.

Looking at this pic, removing 1' of counter, would give me extra space to possibly put a small heating device of some sort there, which would be kind of centrally located, to heat the entire coach.
The line between the 2 pieces of plywood on the floor towards the right side of the pic, is 8' from the front, so, the distance from the front to the wheel well, would be 10 ft.
That looks like it would be a better deal overall, by losing 1 ft of counter space, but gaining some extra floor space.

After having a look at this, and taking a couple of measurements, I might make a couple of small changes.
In this pic, the right side is towards the front of the moho. The distance between the 2 arrows is about 2 feet.
Currently, the end of the counter is about mid way between the 2.
The plywood is 8 ft long, so cutting off 1', would line up the end of the counter with the front of the wheel well box.

Well, I finally made a step in the right direction. I spent money today! Lol.
I bought a piece of plywood to use as a base for the counter. I placed it in a temporary way to have a look at how might look if installed in it's current position.

Wahoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally! It looks like things are slowing down a little bit. I am glad that Thanksgiving is over - only because of the extra work for my niece.
Been a wild ride for the last few days. I think I can get some work done tomorrow on the moho.
I am having withdraw symptoms here. Lol.
On the other hand, I ran across something where someone was using his head. Evidently, this guy used his table saw for sawing AND cutting dado's.
In order to simplify the setup, and not to have to switch blades back and forth, his solution was to join 2 table saws, side by side, one with a saw blade, and the other with a dado setup.
What a concept! For someone who does very little switching back and forth, this would be a waste. But for doing a lot of it, this would work very well.
Hope to have a better update tomorrow.
