We moved around the porta potty (we raised it to reflect the height of the larger unit I bought on Craig's List) to see how much room we could steal from the head area. After removing the door we gained leg room out into the isle.

Extending the V-Berth

The admiral and I needed a little more room in the v-berth. So we did some calculations and decided to remove the head door and install curtains to free up some space. This actually doubled the size of the head when you consider the area to stand and dress etc. Added a total of 10" to the berth along with alot more width. Picked up a larger Portapoti that is taller and MUCH easier to use.
