Hello from another Coloradan: We drove through Buena Vista two weeks ago on our way to Santa Fe. You live in a nice area of the state for sure. We are up the road in Conifer.
The center bath layout is indeed more desirable as "water weight" is more centrally located over the axles. And you can nap in the rear bedroom and not be disturbed by someone making their way to the "necessary" room.
I purchased a 75 Overlander last fall. It is a "standard" rear bath layout with twin beds. I've been doing some repairs and upgrades to the thing. My goal is a travel ready, reliable trailer the whole family can use.
If your goal is full time living, your build will be quite a bit different than a travel trailer. Airstreams aren't the greatest full time units as they were designed to be light weight and tow easy. Aluminum is a great conductor of heat, the walls are only about 1 1/2 thick, and the appliances are standard RV fare. The Greatley's blog as a great place to start as they built theirs for full timing.
It looks like your trailer has new axles under it. The ride height looks higher to me in your pictures.
David
