1968 Trade Wind: rearranging the interior: rear bed / bath
I have a 1968 Trade Wind, twin model. The front has twin extending gauchos with a dinette table between. Another gaucho is in the center over the curb side wheel well, opposite all of the kitchen appliances.
Rear bath has been ripped out (see the blog linked below). The black tank is in the very back, below floor level, outlet is on the back, closer to the street side. Inside, the tank opening is pretty close to the center, and about 14 inches in from the back wall -- with all the plastic torn out -- the inside skin wall.
Drains for the shower and other gray water connect on the street side.
Water heater is on the curb side, needs to be replaced. I found that the water heater is not vented inside. Maybe that's another thread...
Question: Has anyone reformatted the interior design so that a full bed can be installed in the back, moving the toilet, sink, and shower into the corner, possibly taking up closet space on the street side?
Inspiration for this is that I am taking up the rear floor, repairing the separation, and finding the blank slate calling to me. Besides, it would be nice to have a bed that does not have to be folded up each day in order to cook and move around to the rear bath.
I've been looking at the fabulous restorations on the forums, but am not finding "exactly" what I am looking for. Of course, it could be that no one else thinks this is a good idea.
Thanks, forum folks,
Anne
