David, can't help with the fuel tank as I had a 270ltr replacement tank fitted underneath. The Carryboy does not have any odour but if fitted new I can assume that it might have a fibreglass smell for a while.
Now as for dust can't really comment as most of the time the truck is in storage as I work overseas and the only big trip it did was when we picked up our 21' BT 4 weeks ago. I am going to seal the tailgate at per a previous post even though it is already done, just to renew it and I have a vent fitted into the roof.
Yes we have the bathroom in the middle and like you when we first started looking at a BT I asked about separate toilet shower as i liked the idea of the bathroom across the rear of the van with the shower to one side and the toilet to the other with a basin in the middle.
But due to the design of the BT this is not possible, I think the separate toilet shower is not needed to save space and we had the vacuum flush toilet fitted which worked a treat and look very nice also.
Our design has the full wrap around lounge at the back and what I liked about it is the division of the layout, you have the lounge/kitchen area in one then the fridge on one side and centre ensuite on the other and this provides divide between the bedroom, so gives a separate room affect.
We have the Lemair washing machine installed next to the fridge behind a door.
On our return trip we both commented that the design worked well with Marlene saying the way the kitchen area is it works well for her and she's the cook.
You have the same outlook as I did "I will only be doing it once so do it right the first time"
When you become a financial member get in touch with me on the owner
forum and I can send you a layout plan for you to look at.
Cheers
