Wow, that does look nice. Much prefer the teak doors to the smoked acrylic sliders we have on Callisto. And the AC power is in a better place if you actually use it for, like, bathroom stuff. :) Ours is behind the head to the left, but usually just has a small heater plugged in for the winter or when dock camping with power to keep the vberth warm.
