I took some time yesterday to try to measure as many parts of the teardrop as possible. I'm finding Google Sketch Up to be a real challenge; probably should have started with something a bit simpler at this point, but its fun to experiment.
Here are my rough drafts.
This is the side view. I drew it so that you could see through the side of the trailer.
Rear view; the blue rectangle is the cooler which will be on a pull out slider.
You can see the cabinetry of the galley and the rough cabinets inside the cabin.
Side view: you can see the wheel wells and interior cabinets.
You can see all the way through the trailer in this image.
This gives you a sense of the layout in the galley a bit better.

I learned a lot about working with Google Sketch Up. I think these look pretty darn good! The key was having very specific measurements from the actual teardrop to put into the drawing program. I learned that you can make the walls transparent. This allows you to 'see inside' which is very hard to sketch by hand. I think I'll go back and tweak the cabinetry in the galley and the cabin a bit more in future versions.

Possible layouts.
Estimates for headliner materials.
Top view above. Key measurements on the side of the teardrop.
Battery compartment and power panel possible layout.
Key measurements of the galley area. It's a lot tighter than a lot of other designs.
