Do you have any pictures of your over the wheel well compartnemts? Are they cabinents or shelves?

If I were starting over, and of course knowing what I know now about how we'll use the SMB, I would have gotten the transformer interior setup instead of the EB-51 layout.

Having a fridge readily available is extremely useful. But the built in storage and rear bed/seat layout, sink, microwave has not been a good fit with our needs. More interior cargo room for hauling stuff is what I need most often.

The one luxury item I'd try to work into the mix is a suburban heater. We don't use it often, but when it is used it is very much appreciated.

X2 on the Sportsmobile “Transformer” floor plan! That would be the one we would order also.

I have a bit of a "transformer plan going, mu only permanent fixture is the stove top/furnace. It has one drawer between the 2 that houses my cooking stuff, the rest is open!

Ditto that. I have a webasto heater behind the driver seat and a removable platform for double decker sleeping/gear hauling that uses the rear sofa brackets to hold it. So far it has worked great and can switch back to a passenger rig in under 5 minutes. I live the dual life in mine. I replaced a suburban for the biodiesel 4x4 monster van. Couldn't be happier.
