    NEW MOTORHOME IDEAS AND YOUR THOUGHTS....EXPERTS!

    OK now my head hurts, all those caps ;-) I like the mid ship entrance into the galley, it just makes sense, considering most of the time you go in during the day will be for food or drink. The head should also be located close to the entrance, another reason everyone goes in and out a lot. I...
