[Pete Masterson]

On some of the newer coaches, the term "Diagonal Aisle" is used for
an arrangement that leads to a side bath. In my coach, the 22 cu ft
home-type refrigerator is located in the center of the coach and
placed at a 45 degree angle relative to the length of the coach. The
galley cabinets (to the rear) are also trimmed at the same 45 degree
angle. There is a diagonally-arranged pantry-cabinet to the left of
the refrigerator. This diagonal leads to a hallway along the edge of
the coach to the bedroom. My coach is arranged with the aisle and
galley on the curb side, but (I think I've seen) some have the mirror
image arrangement.

You can not see directly into the bedroom from the front of the
coach. (The galley is in the way.) The bathroom is completely private
(it has a sliding door that enters the side-aisle). The shower is an
odd, roughly 5-sided irregular (the sides are all different lengths)
shape that fits in behind the refrigerator and other cabinetry in the
galley/dining area. The bathroom also has a linen cabinet with the
washer in the bottom and a full-length closet. The down-side is that
the bathroom sink (at an angle, located approximately in the center
of the coach) is a little short on counter space.

Since this arrangement can affect the location of some on-board
systems, I signify my coach with "WBDA" to indicate that I have a
Wide Body, Diagonal Aisle arrangement.

Some "side bath" and "side aisle" Wanderlodges do not have the
diagonal aisle arrangement.
