Evangelina’s Floorplan
One of my primary criteria in designing Evangelina’s layout was that to the greatest degree possible, every usable cubic foot have at least two uses. I’ll add to this explanation later, but for now here’s the floorplan.
This layout is almost unheard of. I’ve seen quite a few coaches in person and have looked at literally thousands on the web. NObody does it this way, so it is *not* a recommendation, ok?
If you traveled with a family or other groups this would not work at all, but as my travel and living plans only concern one or two people I want to use every region to its highest advantage. I just couldn’t bear the thought of allowing almost 1/3 of the coach to waste away as the sleeping chambers when one doesn’t spend much conscious time there.
The side-hinged murphy bed is by far the biggest contributor to the space savings. This area will double as a study/office when not in evening use. Other features include a countertop which slides over the cockpit area to allow for some 16′ of counter space in the galley, and a sliding countertop on the curb side which doubles as a breakfast counter. There’s also a sliding closet which doubles as a door and lives in the shower area when not in use. (with plans for an air-actuated cylinder to power it just like on Star Trek!)
Oops, I just noticed there’s a chair in the wrong place…oh well…
