Here's our side profile.
It's taller than most teardrops, and has the return curve on the tail end.

Nothing like an old thread coming back to life with my second cup of coffee on a blue-sky morning to motivate me to add my thoughts.

Here are my first and last builds. They're similar.

I don't roll the front in because I have storage under the headboard (of both) and a bottom curve would inhibit that space. Besides, I mount a flat-backed tongue box up there.

Here's Burning Woman's profile and details --and a shot of the headboard storage:

With her, I brought the galley profile out about 6" and back in to allow the countertop to be within 5" of the end of the floor ––and to give me enough space to install the stove at 90º.

Here's the "old" galley in Flash:

And the new galley:

I always thought the Benroy profile did a great job of galley access. :thumbsup:

With the benefit of hindsight there is a change I would make to my benroy style.
When I first built it I didn't know there were side tables and awnings in our future. In wet weather water runs back to the hinge and out the circled area. I would now make the front a little lower and make the hinge the highest point. So any water on the roof goes forward when the trailer is level. The hatch would still be curved though.Image
