One of the major components of our remodel in Miami this winter was converting the midship half bath to an office and pantry area.  We have never needed two bathrooms in our RV, and we have always needed more space.  Moreover, I do sometimes actually do real work, and I use a standing desk at home, so this was a natural conversion choice.

On the forward side is my wall-mounted iMac, a fold-out desk area, and some adjustable storage above and below.  On the aft side is also adjustable shelving, where the toilet was before.




Sorry for the crummy vertical panos that are stretching the image...  I will take better pics and do another thread on our full remodel scope later.  These are to show one feature:  at the bottom, on the floor, directly under the window, you'll see a 5-inch tall box made of ultrawood veneer.

This office is directly atop the battery bay, and that wood covers a set of air exchange ducts that are plumbed straight down to the bay.  One duct has a small fan that exhausts the battery bay back into the office.  The other duct is actually connected all the way to the #3 roof air, and it has a fan as well to "boost" the flow.  This allows the battery bay to be cooled on even the hottest days, which protects the batteries and extends their lifetime.  It has not gotten nearly hot enough to validate that the system works as expected, but I am fairly confident it will do the job.

As a bonus, I have designed the pantry side with a floor access panel that would allow installing up to five additional strings of LFP cells on the floor there.  Should we discover that we want (need?  is that blasphemy?) even more capacity, we can easily move up to 0.93 of a Tesla in the future.  Right now, though, we are using that area to store dog food.
