It's coming together quickly now

This week’s theme of huge progress is…storage!  While we’ve planned and planned, and seen everything designed with the CAD system, we didn’t realize exactly how much storage we will have in this camper until we saw it all coming together.  We now have two giant closets accessible from the camper which are over the wheels of the motorbikes, lots of under counter storage in the kitchen - which is almost in! - and more upper cabinets which are framed and about to be installed.  Other outside progress this week was finishing the back doors so they aren’t a puzzle to open and close, and the detachable stairs which are done, but waiting for paint to dry to be assembled.  Inside, the bathroom pan is in, and the bathroom sink is almost built.  We worked with Justin to design the battery compartment, which will double as a bench, and discussed a few tweaks to make the installation of the electrical system easier.  ​

This is a little hard to see since it’s all shiny aluminum, but it is the closet over the motorbikes from the motorbike garage.

The closet by the door from inside the camper. That’s a normal broom standing in it!

The other closet, near the bathroom, same height as the closet with the broom.

The kitchen is in, and you can see the bathroom pan in the back.  Koops’ added back and side splash plates to the sink, as well as a stainless steel fold-down top for the stove.  They also made the plate under the stove a door so there is more storage under there.

Stove with the top up, and the bottom door open. There will also be storage under the refrigerator, which will be installed to the left of the sink.
Picture
The kitchen cabinets are shown upside down, but these will be flipped over and installed over the refrigerator, sink, and stove. Lots more storage!
Picture
The bathroom pan.  The composting toilet and washing machine will be installed on the raised part, and slats will be put over the section to the left with the drain hole, and that will be the shower area.

This sink will be installed in the corner in the bathroom, over the shower section.
We’ve been planning what we will take in the camper, and have been making an effort to minimize.  But, after seeing all the space we’ll have, we are rethinking some of the things we thought we could live without…because we may not have to.  We still want to minimize weight, and don’t want excessive clutter or to cart around things we really don’t need, but we think things like a few extra sheets or towels, or a couple of warm jackets just in case we end up somewhere cold, might not be such a bad idea.  ​
