18' Caravel with permanent bed
Sorry that I'm not a totally vintage refurbisher, but I like it. I took out almost everything and replaced all with 1/2" birch plywood, new fridge, stove and water heater. No space heater.
You can see the microwave over the fridge. Continuing back, I put in a full length cabinet over the new bed. The bed is small, but comfortable for two 5'9" adults (yes, she's a little taller than I am, woohoo!). In order to get sufficient room at the shoulders, the bed alignment is slanted, which you can see by the upturned edge of the throw rug. The bed is supported on three cabinets that have doors held on at both vertical edges by velcro, so they pull off completely--the short one at the foot holds one 18"x22"x14" plastic box, the large one at the head holds two boxes, and the narrow center one holds tripods, shoes, whatever.
The new kitchen area has a large overhead cabinet that has a second shelf inside. This is my third remodel and I have found drawers to be my top need when remodeling. I still haven't figured out how to secure them when traveling, so I'm into bungees and hooks. Works great, looks like hell, but they can be removed as soon as you stop.
The front area is not quite done--still need a seat on the street side, but a folding chair works great for now. The Paduk table has an extension the comes out another two feet. You can see the storage area behind the bench seat--under it there are the two drawers and in the other end two small areas (doors held on by velcro) that hold 13 bottles of wine and two twelve-paks of cokes, etc.
