How about two couches up front. The one on the right could have a short
"bed extension" out into the door area. The left one would be 6' so plenty
for wife. Refrigerator at foot of bed / couch on left. Kitchen counter
between frig and rear dry bath wall. Two person dinette (possible spare
bed) across from counter.
