That looks like a definite "crouch" to get to the front bed. It looks lower than my all glass one.
Even though it would be easier to work with one, I can't get this design thing out of my noggin.
Having listened to my wife on her ideals, the design has changed yet again. Smaller, lighter, no pop up roof, still only 92" high at the peak. One slide for a sofa, and a murphy bed design in that same room. I have it down to only 90" wide and 28' long plus a 4~5' folding boat tail. Folded in, the end of the trailer is now only 23' past the rear bumper of the truck.
Headroom is 78" in the center and 76" along the sides. 6" radius instead of 12".
there will be a crawl up guest loft with 30" of room, that will not likely ever see guests. It is only 60" deep so It will be useful storage we can reach into.
Starting at 90" wide, I can taper it front and rear to match the truck, and lose significant wake at the back.
