Mike, I never asked, but do you think a footwell, like in your design, would work with the axle that I have? The more I think about it, the more I like your design, since it keeps the plywood to 10' lengths. Any chance you could take your drawing and incorporate a front end similar to what I drew? I like the idea of being able to put a window up front over the galley. I have also come to the decision that I can rework the chassis that I already started, I am no longer adverse to cutting it in order to rebuild it. This may also give me a chance to still do wood sides with an inlay. I was starting to think that if I used 3/4" plywood on a 12X6 design, it would get mighty heavy.
