I imagined removing 24" from the middle of a 23' side bath, moving everything behind the door forward, cutting 2' out of the kitchen counter and leaving room for a 48" loveseat behind the driver's seat. Might even be able to keep the OEM stove and just replace the sink with a small bar unit.

I imagined redesigning the rear suspension to eliminate two wheels, leaving the original propane and generator compartments (and the water and waste tanks) intact.

One fuel tank would have to be customized to about 20 gallons instead of 25, or eliminated completely.

GVW would have to be less than 10,000 pounds (about 9,600), and care would have to be taken to keep from overloading either or both of the rear LRE tires. Voila! Toll charges the same as a passenger car and parking in a standard parking space.
