How would you lay out a 8x13 with a 3 ft vee nose?

Going to be a 8 x 13 ft box with a 3 ft vee on the front. Give me some ideas on how you guys would do it! I want a dinette bed and bunks! The wheels will not crank up , so they bwill be under the shack/ with wheel wells.Do you think the vee in the front is big enough for a small bathroom?

First off, welcome to HSO.

There's a lot of possibilities for what you could do, all depends on what you want. I got a couple questions, first, how many holes are you looking to have, and second, how "fancy" of a bathroom are we talking about?

If your house is indeed 8' wide, I'd make the Vee in the front true 45 degree angles and have it extend out 4' from the front of the squared off section. A 8' wide and 4' vee is huge for a nicely laid out bathroom/ storage room. You could even chop it in half with a wall and make one side a 4' by 4' triangle bathroom and a 4' by 4' storage/ cabinet/ shelving unit. Some people even throw another fishing hole in the floor of the bathroom.

Keep as much off of the floor as your can, and make sure your bunkks fold up as flat as possible to the walls if you put them over the wheel wells. I think a dinette is overrated unless you plan on playing a lot of cards or would like a full size bed for getting cozy with someone. A folding card table and chairs for eating and cards takes up no room when not in use, and you have more floor for holes. The chairs are only used when needed instead of built-ins taking up valuable floor space.

Make a point to have a lot of small narrow shelves around standing elbow level around the house to keep food/beer/tackle/bait off of the floor. They can be used when standing and sitting that way.

Speaking of shelves, Portavilla has these in their fish houses and I plan on putting some in my Yetti. They work so great for camera's and flashers and fold up against the wall when not in use. You can get just the brackets for them and do your own shelves pretty reasonable.
