I am racking my brain for some different floor plans for a TTT. Is there such a sticky, post or area for floor plans? Maybe if you could show me some of your floor plans I could get a better Idea. This is the only thing I could come up with using visio.

Seems like you sink and stove, and mind you I don't know if this is practically possible, should be together or you are going to be doing a lot of back and forth, increasing the likelihood that you make a bigger mess.

maybe you could do the sink/stove together and use the sink are you have now for storage?

A lot of people were saying they didn't want to cook indoors (mess/grease/odors) and I was thinking you could do a pull-out galley that tucks under the bed and pulls out the back of the standie to cook outside.

I have a 14' Ritz craft and it is about this size. If you turn the potty room 90 degrees with the stool wall bumped up to the bed now reverse the bed layout with the head of the bed at the door side. This gives a little distance from the throne. Kenny is right sink and stove side by side. The area not used by the potty room at the end of the front counter could be utilized as a pantry or as a hanging closet assessable thru the potty room.
In fact a pantry above the counter height and you could still have a 1/2 height closet low in the potty. This eliminated the dead space at the end of the counter. Using every square inch of the cube is the key in these tiny trailers :D

If we have the bigger little trailer we almost always cook at the picnic table but if it were to be raining cats and dogs boiling a couple hot dogs and warming up a can of baked beans indoors is a luxuary we teardroppers don't have with just the trailer. A canopy and wind curtain is the teardroppers only salvation and ya better hope the wind don't decide to take it away.

I like the way you both think. I'll make a design change and post a pic.

I have been somewhere and seen a tiny bath with the entire floor a shower pan. The shower spray won't bother the stool and it make the bath area clean up a breeze. However, I bet you will need to move the towel bar ! :lol: :lol:

Drawing looks great !

Or use ShamWow's for towels.
Still graced with two eyes and ten fingers (due in no small part to luck!).

Just when you think a problem is solved, an uglier result replaces it.

If you reverse the potty room front-to-back and tuck it into the front corner, you can put the storage closet next to the bed and you won't have to go into the bathroom to get to the bottom half of it. You'll also have the layout for a Shasta Compact :)

On any of those designs, you need to work out how you're going to get to the street-side dinette seat - there's no gap between the table and the furniture next to it. You can scoot all the way round if the table's held up with a pedestal pole (plus ladies can dance around it.... no, wait, I didn't say that), but with any other sort of table support you can have an access problem.

The one exception is if you make the 'storage' in that last plan low enough that you can slide your backside over it - so really it has to be only an inch or two higher than the dinette seat.

From Carter's album...and an idea I'm incorporating into my build.

http://tnttt.com/album_ ... c_id=39765

Look below the table on the left, this diner converts to a shower. Shower frame is PVC pipe disassembled and stored under the wood deck below the table. If you don't want the diner...you could place the toilet on top of the wooden panel covering the PVC shower frame....Raise the sides waist height and create a removable shelf.

Instead of U channeling the bed...make a left / right bench extend the table to the camper wall. Opens up the space and your not doing the butt scoot and footsies jam.
