[quote]Do you want a roll up door or a ramp door on the back of the conversion to drive the mini into the conversion, or would you attach a power winch to it and pull it in with a cable?
Ramp door. About 50-50 on driving in versus winching (drive it half way in, winch the last portion. I expect the door to incorporate ramp strength/structure.
[quote]would you put windows and a translucent roof inside the garage?
windows yes, translucent roof no
[quote]If you have a 13' garage and 17' cabin area, what can you include inside....
Anthony Desnick (ToolSet) has given me a few floorplans to ponder. Everything is 'fitable' in 17' except the rear bedroom. I will also have a bed over the cab... extra cot in the garage. ToolSet has a beaver tail in progress with good photos
