| Kitchen
On the left we have the kitchen bench with a sink
at the bottom and three-burner cook top at the top.
The mangle stores in the utilities area and swings
out over the sink.
On
the right are various storage compartments, pantry,
fridges, beer etc. There is also a nook with a small
shutter, this gives a little more bench space and
will be used for coffee making. The shutter will provide
some airflow to what is otherwise a fairly dead air
area.
Shutters
All "windows" are really openings with shutters
and no glass. As with Wothahellizat 1 we are going
for maximum ventilation and this version will have
even more.
Bathroom
& entrance
The 800-odd millimetre square area that on most motorhomes
is just an entrance has several uses. Depending on
what is slid out or opened up it is a shower, toilet,
vanity, or kitchen bench, and of course an entrance.
Utilities
All the gas and water systems are contained in this
area, there is no piping of any kind leading off into
walls to get to other parts of the truck. This makes
things cheaper and simpler to build and a lot easier
to maintain. There will be a large shutter on the
outside that, when open, will allow easy access to
everything.
Originally
I wanted the electronics to be here as well but that
didn't work out so the batteries, inverter, gauges
etc will now be in a compartment behind the left side
of the lounge room.
Deck
& motorbike
When driving the motorbike stores in an area that
is either the front of the lounge room or the rear
of the deck according to what's open. The bike is
in a compartment that lowers to the ground with the
roof of the compartment becoming the floor of the
rear half of the deck.
The
rear wall of the body opens both up and down to become
the second halves of both the deck roof and floor.
If the rear wall is not opened then we have a larger
lounge room.
When
the panels are open the rear half of the deck is protected
from the elements because it is actually inside the
body, although it to has shutters that can be opened
if more ventilation is required.
Lounge
room
The lounge room has a full height passage down the
centre but the chairs sit on plinths about 300mm (1
foot) high. Inside these plinths are six 84ltr (19gal)
water tanks giving a total 504 litres (112gals) stored
internally with another 84 litres in an outside tank.
The
rear wall of the room are glass bi fold doors, when
open these provide 100% opening to the deck area,
or if the deck is closed, opening these doors creates
a larger room.
Bedroom
The bedroom sits over the cab and encroaches slightly
into the kitchen area. It to has shutters all around
for ventilation. There is only about 650mm (25")
of headroom but there is a huge hatch that opens the
roof to the sky.
