Have you changed the layout of your trailer?

Many people have changed the layout of their trailer BUT you have to be careful most of the built in structure such as cabinets and closets also serve as bracing to support the walls without them the trailer might collapse sideways on a hard bump. So it takes some planning to not weaken the trailer.

Thanks for sharing the photos.. that helps a lot. I am thinking of moving the kitchen to the front.. as in my layout photo below. We don't need a separate booth, and separate couch as it is just my husband and I, and I would like to gain the bigger kitchen. I will work on the placement of the air conditioner and water storage etc. in attempting to balance the load. This is jus a rough sketch I am doing on a design program, I will need to get down to exact measurements down the road, but I think I may do it. Existing upper cabinets would not move at all, and the closet would just be smaller but still there. It's weird, but it has taken me a while to think outside the box on the camper design, as it almost seems wrong to change it, but the truth is if we are going to be doing that much touring around, it may as well be comfort first..

here is a very crude drawing of what I have planed

and what program did you do your drawing with, I need that.

I extensively changed our Mallard floor plan during the restoration. We found an original factory brochure that listed three optional floor plans for our 17' size trailer.

We eliminated the bunk bed, narrowed the closet wall and made a new closet door, made a new "pull out" bed that runs "north and south" instead of the original "east west" direction, we installed a toilet in the left rear corner, and built two new walls to separate the kitchen from the new bathroom/bedroom.

Like Lady Wendolyn, with just two of us, we did not need three beds, and the new toilet was a high priority. If you did not know, you would think it came that way from the factory. It's very comfortable for two and our dog.

For sure.. Very cool. I like using the design program because I can see the changes in three dementions . You can also remove one wall and then look at if from the side.

My husband measured our trailer and told me it is 7 feet wide, but I realize now that I have no idea where he measured as it gets wider up off the floor. So I am going to need to measure the floor myself in order to determine room for appliances etc. I am really excited to actually be redesigning the interior layout of the trailer. Kinda like building a custom home and choosing everything the way you want it.
