Air Conditioner and Shower Fighting for Space.

Added The Front Mounted Air conditioner to Explore that aspect of the Layout
So one of the Challenges has been to create the shower area appropriate to the location of the air conditioner in the front of the RV. This has required me to try to imagine how the space will be planned to accommodate it. One of the other challenges is to see how to seal it from the outside elements. probably with flexible rubber seals of some sort.

Designing the Door and interior paneling


Getting to the part where I need to start designing the cabinet layout inside, the wall paneling, the decor etc. is a bit intimidating as I need to really set in stone the look. Also there are softwoods and benches to be done and it really all is quite a lot. but ill set in with the paneling and see where it goes from there.

Used the golden ratio to work out paneling on the doors but still need hardware sizes etc....

The Exterior

The Exterior of the Tiny RV was always intended to be a deep hunter green, perhaps even British Racing Green in a High Gloss Two Part Polyurethane Marine Enamel Paint. Before this finish can be applied the fiberglassing of the exterior surface needs to be done appropriately to waterproof and strengthen the whole unit.

The Nest step would be to put an off-white or Hatteras white on the roof to reflect the sunlight and keep the camper cool. I think I will do this with an exterior trim moulding but im not sure if it will affect any canopy that I might wish to add at a later time.

An early example of what a shiny dark hunter green paint job could look like.

Updating the Design Drawings

The last weekend has been great, I was able to get a huge amount of design work done onsite near the camper itself. Taking onsite measurements has been very helpful in keeping things moving in a great direction. Also switched to a new CAD software that seems to have greatly sped up the whole design process.

Put some fuzzy glow on this one, but a kitchen shot with the view out the lewmar hatch installed without the wall paneling. the window will need interior trim.
And so I put a light in the kitchen to see more detail...

Added a small LED style Amber Lantern to imagine what the Lighting would be Like Inside. Lighting Plan hasnt started just yet.
