• Hatches
• Mounting frame.

Habitat frame

• Frame to be external with ISO1161 container corners in Aluminium
• Is to be insulated with 100mm insulation, 150mm for the floor to allow for additional services/frame to be routed in the floor that would allow for 'losses' in the insulation envelope.
• The aluminium frame is to be bonded to the insulation with sika 522 

• 15ft unit? Like the small feet wheels:

• 20ft unit:

 

Insulation

Insulation will be 10cm thick (maybe 15 on the floor) to allow the following:

1. Allow enough space to cut the space in the bottom for:
   
   • The Aluminium frame of the habitat
   • The electicity lines, water lines etc etc
   • Aircon will be done via the ceiling, heating via the floor. So these systems need to be coupled, as the aircon can heat as well as cool. It has to do with warm air rising and cool air falling. This should be automatic. https://www.dewitschijndel.nl/autoterm-luchtverdeler-met-regelklep-90-mm
     
     

     

2. Windows will be double glazed and altitude-proof. (KCT or https://www.outbound.eu/ )
3. Windows/doors will be flush-mounted to the box, to enable the top layer to go over the bottom layer.

Windows

1. Windows will be double glazed and altitude-proof. (KCT or https://www.outbound.eu/ )
2. Windows/doors will be flush-mounted to the box, to enable the top layer to go over the bottom layer.
3. Sizes/numbers are still to be determined. 
4. I am quite enamored by the idea of having a 'strip' in the middle of the ceiling, at least in the kitchen/seating area, maybe not in the bathroom/shower due to the need for an extractor fan.
   

   

   
   

Hatches

Mounting frame.

A frame will have to be constructed between the habitat and the chassis of the truck. It will have to allow the truck frame to flex, while the habitat stays rigid (or at least almost-rigid):

The idea is to pivot around a point that is between the frame rails:
