Gaucho or couch bed

[John Greenlee]

OK.

I couldn't take it, bummed a day out of the office (in tax season no less) and went and picked up the Overlander yesterday. It is much as I expected.

The one thing that does not seem to fit the idea of installing the dinette: There is a big plastic fresh water tank in the floor in the front end of the trailer. I presume that it was underneath the gaucho originally and hidden. Does anyone have any comments in this area? (My gaucho was removed and thrown away by the P.O.)

Are there drawings/dimensions of an original style gaucho available? It might be best to just build it back.

Congrats! Now the fun begins.

We are faced with the same fresh water tank delima, and that is one of the reasons I am considering the wrap-around dinette keeping the tank under the center seat.

Another thought was to move the water tank to the side running front to back, but I am sure someone will tell me that that will throw the weight distribution off. However I think some time on the weight scale could help.

The gaucho is amazingly simple construction, and rather flimsy. I will TRY to take pictures of mine and send them, as it is removed from the trailer.

P.S. not fair that you actually had someone look at the AS before you purchased it.
