Yes -- I agree -- it's gotten to be a bit of a monster. Originally I had envisioned a 17' toter (same Freightliner Cascadia class 8 truck)... and a 36' stacker. But like most things "automotive" -- you start poking around and then things tend to get bigger!
 
Once I saw that you could get a queen sized "bedroom" it was game over.... that meant it had to be a 22' 'box' - then for 2 more feet - you get the galley all on one side and the larger push out on the opposite side. Once you've been inside. You can no longer "live with" the 17' or even the 19'. 
 
I had to shrink the stacker 2' in order to stay legal... and I didn't even want to do that. |
