Congrats on the nice class B!
Hmm, like Jeff and Kelli I'm thinking of taking off in a year or two in a truck camper (for fulltime though)
Biggest decision for 1 person is go smaller with something like Northern Lite 10-2 wet or find comfortable seating in something larger?
I'd be fine with a reclining sofa mounted lengthwise along the wall with the Truma furnace/water heater combo underneath the reclining sofa to save space.
Or, how about if 1/2 the dinette seat and back are hinged, and as the seat slides forward 4-6 inches it would pull the lower part of the back forward too. Really like a rollover sofa, but stop after some inches of travel.
Final feature, if one bench of dinette could be torn out, then create table/desk out of still standing bench (with heater/water/electrical underneath as needed) and install comfortable seats.
Regarding the most efficient use of space, how much time would be spent enjoying comfortable seating vs eating. (and eating inside at that!). Leisure travel vans seems to understand how to create a nice space for 2. TC manufacturers don't seem that interested.
