Trying again Vanna Build 2017
So like many of us- this design is around carrying 4 bikes inside- two road/two mountain for me and my wife. Couple of innovations that might interest folks- we use a cooler that slides out on locking sliders for a step to get into the bed. The bed is on ATV loading ramps to save space. The drawers are dovetailed thanks to a friend and we are putting in a low height doorway cabinet for outside cooking under a future awning. That will have a folding table that extends 3 feet from the door.
The refrigerator (coming this week) is elevated on the battery box behind the drivers seat.
For you electrical types- there are 2 300W panels and two Deka 12V AGMs- total 194 amps. I have reconfigured the panel 3 times and I think I have it right now.
Just getting around to finish work- 1/8 inch birch ply where I can get away with it and 1/2 inch marine where I need backup. Came up with the drawer lock idea in the middle of the night. We need something solid as I have been doing a fair amount of backcountry driving on lousy roads. Nothing like testing how your drawers stay closed with 4 miles of crawling over rocks- not to mention the solar panels.
