I guess I'm a little strange, .... ok, a lot strange, anyway ...
Galley's are great, but I look at the mechanics of them; hatch seals, door seals, latches, how things are attached, etc. I then check out the interior for cabinets, hangers, hooks, and other useful / neat ideas. Always looking for ideas and "the better way".
Just my opinion, and everyone knows what that's like...

I tend to look at the over all shape esthetics and because it is so obvious the galley. I am always looking for creative and original ideas (plagiarism is the sincerest form of flattery) and ways some one has solved the perennial teardrop problems i.e. keeping rain out of the galley. Nancy is always interested in the interior and the galley.

I look at every thing. It astounds me, the unbelievable craftsmanship some of our members have. I went for quick (29 days) and camping!

I look at shape, then, I look to see how many parts have been handcrafted as opposed to storebought doors, windows,fenders, etc..I want to see craftsmanship like the half nelson and Steve frederick's tearsI.E...[/img]http://www.steve-frederick.com/page4.html

I'm all for quick and functional. Craftsmanship is great. Rustic functionality has it's merits too; Especially, when you consider really using it hard and it's life duration.

If you are going to read slowcowboy posts, you just gotta adapt.

I look at the galley first.

I tend to look @ shape, fenders and how the box is put on the frame

Then I go towards the little "unique" elements of the build. That which makes the trailer special
