I think we've successfully hijacked several perfectly good threads with the subject of interior modifications. So let's start a new one.
We all have different needs and wants. Being tall presents its own set of problems, but today I've seen some ideas that interest me.
Basically, we want rear twins. We like to sleep in the privacy of a bedroom, but we don't fit well in a double bed. The standard rear bedroom Royale has twins that are too short. Also, the kitchen counter is huge and takes up 1/2 of the front of the coach. I'm formulating a plan here. I want to see what you think.
One option would be to search for a center kitchen coach. With some cabinet modifications the rear beds could be lengthened enough to be comfortable. There might be another option:
On the standard GM coaches, there's an option called the rear twin layout. I bet most of these are Edgemontes. Since the Edgemonte has 77" beds, that would be my preference.
The kitchen, however is not to our liking. There's too much space wasted on countertop. What if one took the stove and sink out and replaced them with a small bar-type sink, a single portable cooking eye, and a microwave/convection oven (mounted elsewhere). How much space could you gain and what length sofa could you put in the space now occupied by 1/2 the kitchen and the love seat?
This side might be better for 2 comfortable lounge chairs.
On the other side, I'd remove the dinette and put either a sofa or the two chairs from the other side.
Storage space is really not important to us.
In summary this coach would have: a comfortable bedroom for tall people, a dry bath, a small kitchen for we who would just as soon do something other than cook, a comfortable living room with potential for someone to sleep on the sofa. Throw in a low profile furnace and an on demand water heater and, for the Miller's needs, I believe we'd have a "home run".
Even if it wouldn't run I could go in the back yard and stretch out on the long beds or watch TV from the comfortable sofa.
