  John I see your point , but if it is a 2x2 box you could simply push it to the wall then push it down the hall no need to turn . My point is the hall itself , which starts at the end of kitchen in my case and ends at the beginning of the rear bedroom. Center or side it is the same length. My kitchen living room area never changed size just some appliance locations,but that was to do with sink stove fridge triangle.
This layout allows total freedom to come and go to bedroom and bath by multiple users , as we will be using our bus with our teenage son.

Chuck,

I agree to an extent. The hallway itself is the same length. However, when you push the box to the wall, that is the wasted room. You could have an extra 2x2 cabinet there, or something. We went with a center aisle, because we had 9-10 people living on board for weeks at a time. We needed every inch of space possible. Side aisle would be great if you had the extra room.

Cheers,

John

A side aisle isn't necessarily wasted space.
With appropriate use of pocket and sliding doors to the bath, you would have the option to use the side aisle as part of the bath, or, maintain privacy in the bath while allowing access to the rear.

It would seem to me that it would be a much more enjoyable trip with guests if a private second bed room is available rather than having to convert the living room. For us, having to transition the living room seems to cause the most friction - some are having to retire early while others are kept up late. 

We have occasionally included our kid's friends, & relatives with us camping - that is why I am proceeding with a side aisle.  ;D

 Same thinking Kyle private second bedroom biggest issue for us. We noticed when looking for a coach used they were either for 2 or for 6 or more with bunks. Center hall makes sense with bunks.

Exactly. We had seven bunks in ours. If we would have wanted bedrooms, I am sure we would have gone side aisle.
