Austin,

Measure the distance across your arse, the multiply by 2.5.

Now measure across the back of your loved ones, ummmm, sitter. divide by 18.

Take the first number and round up to the nearest 4" and you should be close.

Typically at least 30 to 32 inches. is best if you can spare the space.

A Splendid 2000 washer/dryer needs about 27 inches to slide down a hallway.

Just figure for enough room to move objects down the isle.. Or figure about 3 times your body thickness around the middle...( Passing loved ones in the hall is still gonna be a tight fit. )...

Or Measure the width of your shoulders and add 4 inches per side for slippage....

Mine is 24" and it works well.  No need for more and waste the space.  I have both my reefer and washer/dryer in the hallway, and they were installed when it was a completed hallway.  Good Luck, TomC

The aisle in mine is 24" between closets-shower-toilet rm. and results in great space in each. We have an unmentioned rule that only one person moves within the coach at a time. But, only I subscribe to that rule........

The width between my shower/bath wall and bunk beds is about 25" right now. When I get the bedroom door in, it will narrow to about 22". I wouldn't want to go any less than that.

Austin,
     I think I have absolute minimum aisle widths.  The front most narrowing which is between my kitchen counter and dinette booth is 28".  Behind that the front of my refrigerator is 25" from the opposite portion of the bathroom's wall.  Behind that, the Aisle through the bathroom is 22", this is also the width of my bedroom doorway.  And in the very rear of the bus the walkway between the twin beds is all of 18".  My floorplan is a bit unique in that my bathroom has different lengths on opposite sides of the bus taking up 45" on the left side and 65" on the right side.  The 20" difference is used  by my refrigerator and microwave above it.  The right side holds a 5 foot long jetted bathtub which normally has a closet above it.  To use the tub the closet is rolled back over the right bed (the closet is on rollers running in tracks along the ceiling and right wall). My aisles are certainly no passsing zones but don't feel crowded in routine use.
