I am in the process of building a tiny house on wheels and just had my plumber finish the drain line. Because we needed to achieve minimum slope downhill, my drain pipe ended up being a bit higher than I wanted. I know have very limited space to work with my kitchen sink.

Some important things to know.
1) The bottom of the window sill plate is at 44 inches
2) There is only 13 1/2" from the center line of the waste to the bottom of the window sill plate
3) I am taller than the average person, so I am aiming to have the sink.counter at 39" or 40" but anything taller, is too high.
4) If I go with a 40" counter, I believe I only have 9 1/2" for the sink, basket drainer and tail piece combined. This would be to achieve a 1/4" slope from bottom of basket strainer to drain pipe.
Questions I have:
1) What is the minimum clearance I can do from bottom sink strainer to the center of the waste/drain pipe entering the wall? I've seen 4" but I've also seen you only need 1/4" slope per foot (which would only mean I need to be ~ 1/4" higher.
2) Is there any solution to bringing the drain hole (that connects to wall) lower to where the red circle is? Perhaps a different fitting or just skip the 90?
3) I plan to cut the tail piece to the shortest possible to save space for counter depth. What is the minimum I can do?
Any other tips to give me a few extra inches would be much appreciated. I would REALLY like to have a 9" deep sink, which would put my 12 or 13" with basket strainer and tail piece as well, but I would live with 8".
Thank you so much!
