Need some design ideas please!

Planning to remodel my kitchen. I’ve only done ai renderings for now which is the second pic, (they aren’t perfect). First pic is current

Planning on a complete gut down to the studs.

I can move things around if things will work better. Nothing is off limits, but I really like marble countertops.

I cook a lot so I’d like it to function pretty smoothly

I’d like to have a less protruding fridge that’s shallower and wider and preferably with it surrounded in the cabinets. It’s on an exterior wall so can’t set it in.

Not sure where to do microwave, right now it’s next to the fridge on the counter.

I’d like a 36” stove/oven, and may want an accessory built in air fryer or small mini oven nearby

Was also thinking maybe sink centered on the window and dishwasher on other side?

Any suggestions are welcome!

Girlfriends only requirements are the glass front cabinets and black hardware

Thanks in advance!

How do you feel about people drafting behind you?

Saw some posts on a fuel efficiency page suggesting drafting behind 18 wheelers and it got me to thinking how you guys feel about it.

I’m not a trucker, just looking to see the opinions of the guys behind the big steering wheels.

Newbie trying to learn boondocking. Any tips for finding spots?

It seems everyone on YouTube and other places I search just suggest apps they’re sponsored by. Trying to find something that helps with finding cool spots with a small travel trailer.

I’m new to this, so when looking for places to camp I’m unsure a lot of times if I’m allowed or if it’s just tents or vans or what. Like when I see people recommending camping on certain roads in a national park. I’d like to do that but I’m finding it incredibly hard to find an app to help with this. All the apps want you to pay for a year so you can even see where these places are, and I don’t want to commit based on a sponsored YouTube video…

Anyway, we’re planning our first 2 week road trip and it starts on June 8th. I know, it’s close. It’s the time we can get. Going from MA to Tennessee and back. Never planned one before so any help would be great.

Trailer specs:

Geo pro 13LE- 16ft total length, right around 3200lb loaded
660ah lifepo4 w/3kw inverter, solar, dc-dc for car

Tow vehicle- Lexus gx460, 6500 tow rating, enough payload left to spare whatever we want.
(I am experienced with towing)

Again, anything helps.

Also, I have Rv life, harvest hosts, Hipcamp, the dirt, but have only bought harvest hosts since we liked a place and took it for a test go.

Hot air venting for inverter and charger options?

Utilizing under bunk electrical area for my batteries and other accessories. It includes 12v 660ah lifepo4, 3000w inverter, 75a charger, 30a solar mppt, and the fuse box w/30a converter.

Still building and testing, looking for opinions on how to not make this a sauna. I’d rather not put holes in the side of my camper. Interior I can and into the floor would also be ok. There is an exterior compartment there where I put my griddle, I would be ok ish drilling that door if necessary.

What do you guys think?

Also, the inverter and the chargers will not be on at the same time. The mppt and inverter can be on at the same time. Inverter won’t be seeing more that 1500w at a time

Mounting solar on geo pro?

I am setting up my small geo pro for boondocking, and looking to install some solar panels. I am just wondering if I need to hit the aluminum studs or if the regular decking is fine.

If I do need to hit studs how did you find them? I have a thermal imager and was thinking that could work

Black tank flush with fresh tank?

New to the rv world, have a question about dumping.

So at dump stations that don’t have a hose, to rinse your tank, do you just hold the toilet flush down until you see clear water coming out of the pipe? Then fill it back up with a couple more gallons and drive away? It was my first time dumping yesterday so that’s what I did.

Or should I be using some type of onboard hose to flush the tank? I don’t have an outdoor shower port or a black tank flush port. I have one of those camco gate valves that has the hose attachment though.

I’ve heard of people sticking a wand down the toilet to clean after dumping but I have nothing inside my camper other than the shower so that’s not happening.

I’ve also seen some people say they fill it a bit and it cleans it on the way home, but then how would you dump it?
