Designing a semi-teardrop trailer and I have a few questions

[KTM_Guy]

I think your scale from what you vision in your head and real life might be off. Take some masking tape and tape an outline on a wall and see if you can live and work in that space. I think it will be much tighter that you think.

But if it is the right size consider doors on both sides. It makes it easier at night for a potty run that you don't have to climb over your mate. Consider adding 2' and moving the galley to the outside. Do you really want to cook bacon in such a small space? And what's camping without bacon?

Any kind of treated wood has no place in a camper.

What do you mean by treated wood has no play in a camper?

No *place* in a camper. Wood soaked in poisonous chemicals and sleeping quarters do not go together. Build with quantity wood and use time proven ways to waterproof it.

That's what I meant what about the classic wood stain and poly?

Stain and poly are good. I would suggest to use a spar varnish or something with UV protectors even inside. I noticed some fading on my build where I just used regular Minwax varnish.
