Hey, it's Jane, I started this thread.... my idea is, that a lot of trailers have 2 twin beds on either side of the aisle, take one out, and replace it with 1) a desk or 2) dresser space.
I also have another idea; most Airstreams have the sleep sofas in the back living room area; take that out, and replace it with a dinette/desk. That's what I'm thinking, and have drawers under the seats to store my laptops. And, you can make the table with a piano hinge in the middle, and a sort of "prop" leg, so you can tilt one side down, for easy laptop typing. (Hard to explain, but to make the table tilt like a laptop stand).
As far as ruining the resale value, times have changed.... how many out there are actually using their Airstreams to take 6-8 people camping? Seems like there are a lot of independant single people, or childfree couples, wanting an alternative way to live, and the traditional "camping" trailer just won't quite work.

P.S. Still building the online biz, and saving $$$$. But there is a very nice '67 29 ft Ambassador available locally.... wish I had the $8,000, plus the $$$ to customize! Soon, very soon....
