It's time for a new Generic Standy Design...

[mikeschn]

So where are we at on this design? Which style should I pursue for the Hurricane Escape Trailer aka a bigger, more comfortable standy?

Choice A?


Choice B?


Choice C?


Choice D?



Choice E?


Choice F?
Just my 2 cents I would think a T@B clone with a drop floor would work..Jim


Your thoughts? Which design do I pursue?????

I don't see a window shaker location in any of these views!
That may help to narrow down a design concept.

The footprint would make a difference in which a 5x10 is what most of us head for. Disign one on this footprint , queen bed (ie... table and seat area), john locker, air, rear galley and door behind the wheel.

I like (A) but it is long. I like the slide idea in (B) only, maybe more like Andrews concept. (D) is almost to the top of my list but where would you install air. (E) would have to be 7' wide which is too much and no place to install air. If your going to build (F), we already have T@B clones on this site.

I like (C) best with it's back door and interior set up but again, where would you install the air? It is 6" shorter then (A) but it still is 11'9".

Are you headed for a bigger Benroy, a T@B clone or a scotty?

...tough choice....I like all for different reasons...I think the Tab clone may be the best adaptation of a TD inspired standy...I also think A and may C(with an expanded(tighter?) front, top elipse)

p.s. I would also be remiss, if I didn't put a vote in for the Widget/Winter Warrior as well.......MJ

[mikeschn]

The window shaker, and the profiles and all the other features will be further developed, once we have a starting point.

MJ, thanks for your vote for the WW, but in the interest of keeping it really simple, I think we'll stick with a teardrop style hatch.

All the designs have a hatch, since it was made very clear, very early on, that even with a standy, people want a hatch.

So the real question is, do you want the door in front of the wheel, or behind the wheel?

I like "F" although it would need to be a TAD longer for me......

Hey, you can call it a TAD instead of TAB...

[apratt]

My pick would be A, but I also like C if it had the counter going from the bathroom to the other wall (basically a reverse floor plan of A). That way have all around use you can cook in or out.

I like the looks of C the best, A second best. But I think F would be the one I would build, with the requirements for the proposed use. A balance between looks and usability.

A just "feels" comfortable to me. I have no Idea what that means.

C just kinda leaves me slightly disoriented. Don't know what that means either. I guess with the door located in the back I couldn't figure out if I were coming or going

I suppose I'm voting for A?

Yet, the slide out galley absolutely fascinates me. 300 lb drawer slides would make it work and such an effective use of "dead" space. In our Aliner you had to take up the cushions, seats, etc. to access storage space. That's a royal pain.

Two votes for A , two votes for C and two votes for F.
How about the rest of you guys...?

Okay, to make it easy, I made a poll out of it...

C for me with A in a *close* second.

[tonyj]

My choice would be A, then D. I like the interior layout of A.

None of the above ... Really think space utilization could be better with a more"boxy" design in the rear , and again with that hatch business, the most complicated part of the build , and the hinge thing .... I dunno'... why do you guys have such an aversion to a rear door... too much like a U-Haul ???

I think it's an Uber thing

Is the goal to make it an easier build? If thts the case tehn stay away from teh hatch, the uhaul door idea seems easier. Part of the reason im avoidign a true tear is simply because Ill destory/hack up the hatch

Even the automakers offer swing doors and lift hatches on the same model; they've already figured out there's no "one" answer! It's not hard to come up with good arguments either way.

FWIW...I like the hatch. I live where it rains (a lot) and it's nice to have the protection the lifted hatch offers for those times when setting up another contraption like a canopy isn't convenient. Even in sunny areas I could see stopping in a rest area for lunch or a snack and having instant shade from the open hatch.
