First Build Cross Sections

A little freehand pen and paper sketch work yielded these design ideas.  Both designs are essentially the same except for the location of the top arc's center (10" horizontally).  The more voluminous cross section was immediately favored but the sleeker design is slowly winning us over.

The bottom of the hatch on the lower design is 6'-4", perfect for most folks to stand under.  The pantry is a touch smaller.  Once the hatch is open on either option, the same amount of workspace exists.  The volume of the kitchenette is only hampered when the hatch is closed.  Perhaps only important if you plan to strap cargo down to the top of the counter.
