>>656735I want to use it as a project to learn basic plumbing, electrics, etc, that'll set me right for building a house later in life.
Basic concept will be to build an internal timber frame, insulate and clad.
Allow me to hang set of double doors behind the rolling shutter. Would give a good feeling of 'space', functionality too, and still allow the rolling shutter down when driving.
Raise the floor level up to the top of the wheel arches, which allows the cavity between this wooden floor and the base of the chassis to become storage.
Bed goes in the 'hump' over the cab, but with a section that folds down (think draw bridge) to provide full length. Thinking a double futon. By having it on a hinge and having it go up out of the way when not in use will maximise space
Self contained wet room containing toilet and shower.
Kitchen area beside the wet room: Sink, electric hobs, fridge, will probably scavenge.
Leisure battery + couple of solar panels on the roof + a water heater. Ideally I'd run everything electric, potentially electric/gas, I have to look into it a bit more.
Under floor area at the kitchen/wetroom would house grey water tank etc.
Wood burning stove with underfloor storage for a small amount of fuel.
Weight bearing points to suspend a couple of hammocks for chilling (instead of a couch)
What I generally hate about campers is how confined they feel, really cramped. By having underfloor storage, no couches, double doors etc, it should maximise the amount of floorspace and 'openness'
The only sticking points I've come across so far would be:
lack of windows, potentially just leave the fibreglass roof panel (which are opaque) to allow diffuse light. Combined with the rear doors (having windows) should be enough light.
Inaccess between cab and rear, need to research the legality of cutting through the bulkhead
insulating the hump over the cab/the roof due to curves. Probably won't insulate.
Air circulation?
