Configuration - Bio part 7

I guess I should take a break in my life story to give you some idea of what I have to offer in terms of living space. I am doing it now because what I was as a Chinook Concourse is so much like what I am now as a Chinook Destiny. In fact my floor plan barely changed at all.

Immediately behind the driver's seat (on the "street side" in RV jargon or "port side" to sailors) is my sofa which converts into a slightly over sized double bed. Then comes the galley with a standard kitchen faucet over a double sink. Below, as you'd expect, is storage. Beside this storage area are two small drawers. Overhead above the huge window are bins used to store pots, pans and tableware (over the sink) and Mark's clothing (over the sofa). Behind (abaft) the galley comes the head where the toilet, shower and a small sink are located. The room is about the same size as a home shower stall. Joy jokingly says that it's a real time saver. "You can sit on the john, take a shower, and brush your teeth all at the same time."

My main door into the living area is on the back.

Across the passageway from the head is a small clothes closet and the refrigerator/freezer - which operates on propane, 120 volts AC or 12 volts DC. A three burner stove is next. Joy has never used to oven - too hard to get the pilot light going the one time they tried. In stead they used the space for storage.

Two swivel "club" chairs with a pull-up table between occupy the rest of the curb or starboard side wall. Another large window provides a panoramic outlook while dining. Joy stores her clothing in the overhead cabinets.

The cabinet over the cab is the entertainment center (TV, radio and VCR) and more storage. The ceiling is home for the air conditioner (with heat pump) and a vent hatch with fan. The furnace is below one of the swivel seats and the generator is located below the clothes closet in the rear. All in all a very nice layout. if I do say so myself.
