Need to finalize the design so we can get started..Anybody see any necessary changes I should make to my "Half Ham"??? Going for built Up construction,bent/steamed profiles, Spruce for greater strength/weight..1/4" outsides , 1/8" inside, rigid blue foam in between...Thinking one of those small roll around tanks would be good for gray water(shower)...Trying to keep it Simple , and Light!!!

still say put a small sink in it.... even if its only one of the stainless steamer trays in drawer or mounted in counter space, or small round or oval sink, drain to same small gray water tank, cover with maple chopping block that fits in and protects sink, using the same space for multiple tasks, save space and weight...
your definitely on the right track with build, bigger than standard teardrop, allowing much more interior space (especially needed on cool or rainy days, as the great out doors tend to be not so much fun then) and much more comfortable, without becoming a land yacht, like so may large rv tend to be.... while even more comfortable, price, storage, parking and even insuring them, put them beyond the reach of most folks...
TTT and TD are the way to go..... my class C is a smaller one at 25', but still a gas hog, and not the easiest thing to find a spot to park or store....
If I had realized what a pain it was to become, I wouldn't have bought it, even with the price I paid for it... I would have looked for a smaller (full sized class B or TTT)
