I think teardrops (or squardrops) should be designed inside-out. As in, design the interior componets first and then put a profile around it that you like.
And don't be afraid of curves. There's a lot of builders that believe curves are easier to deal with than angles. I fall in that camp. The right plywood likes to bend.
Some folks like a front profile that rolls under. I too like the looks but I think having internal storage under a headboard is a big deal and I use a flat-backed tongue box anywho. The rear of that profile curves out because I wanted a countertop that wasn't hard to reach. This one is 5" from the user.
Just a thought.

That's my thought too... what's inside, then build the shell.
I'm allowing for the wall thickness in my plan, then fitting things inside that.
The profile there is simply the rough idea of the wall needed to have enough headroom, and then slant down to the cabinets in the back.
as for curves, I'm thinking more 'big kenskill' than 'benroy' for the nose, at least initially, and with enough kerfs, the Foam will bend as needed. I've eliminated 4 sheets of 1/2" ply, I'll be using about two for the rest of the cabinetry out back.
Right now the 'features' that I want inside are: queen size bed, cabinet for food, kitchen supplies on one side, cabinet for porta potty storage and some shelves on the other. there will be cabinets in the nose cone for clothes, etc. I'll have batteries in a well beneath the bed, and solar on the roof.
I'll have some under bed storage for clothes and chairs etc... and a folding table to put up outside as needed under there as well.
I like the way that you plan to do your rear wall.
