This is definitely the most complicated piece of built in furniture with the most sensitive contents in the truck, so it took quite a while to finish. It is divided approximately in half from front to back, and the front half is divided into two side by side storage areas. The back is divided into two storage areas as well, one on top of the other. The bottom compartment is sealed from the inside and vented through the back wall and contains the battery bank. Since we will rarely need to access the batteries, items can be stored in the top compartment without much hassle. The front left compartment is where the power electronics go and the water system is on the right. This part didn't really stray at all from the initial design from the video I posted several months ago.
Looks like a real pain in the ass to build but a very good use of the space.

Thanks. :) Haha, yeah, it was a pain in the ass to build and took a long time to finish it. I'm happy with the way it turned out, so I'm glad to have done it.
ReplyDeleteI read cheaprvliving from time to time, but hadn't seen the solar hot water article. Very cool. And I'd love to see the inside of that step van.
