As the wife here in our teardrop build, I would never want LESS storage. We have a 10 foot and LOVE all the storage. I can't imagine what we would take out. We have two small cabinets over our head and "laundry bags" behind our pillows. Sooo handy. Image Image Image Image

It's official, we've been convinced...going with a 10 footer. Just gonna use Tony's plans with 2x3 .085 steel. Now to finalize my profile....and I found 5x5 1/8" Baltic birch locally, so today was a good teardrop day.

1/8" Baltic Birch ply internal and external skin would make up a strong sandwich wall panel with 3/4" foam in the middle. :thumbsup:

That's what friends are for, right? I'm designing on a 7'x14' frame and that's barely enough. :frightened:
