Requirements

Double cab with space for dogs (or a modified single cab). Easy way for the dogs to get into the cab. ISO container corners. Large fridge/freezer. Electric cooking. Electric through flow heater for showering. The Box should be detachable for shipping b...

Electrical

Systems

The current idea for the electrical system is as follows: 5000W inverter, multiplus-II GX: https://www.nkon.nl/victron-energy-multiplus-ii-5000-48v-110a-70-50-gx.html ~ 1000 Gerbo display for mounting in an accessible place for control. (5"?)  https://www....

Heating

Systems

4kw through-flow heater (single phase, 4.4kw): https://electraboiler.nl/products/copy-of-vaillant-doorstroom-boiler-vermogen-3-kw for shower/kitchen_sink ~300   Floor heating (electrical, 1800W) as a secondary system: https://www.vloerverwarmingstore.nl/p/v...

Water

Systems

Shower/sink regulars to limit water to 3L/min: https://www.savinga.com/5-shower-flow-regulators/79-shower-flow-regulator-af-3-l-min put if after the water heater. Because with 4.4kw Special shower head that works with 3L/min (vandal-resistant :-) ) . D...

Habitat frame

Construction

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 al...

Insulation

Construction

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

Windows

Construction

Windows will be double glazed and altitude-proof. (KCT or https://www.outbound.eu/ ) Windows/doors will be flush-mounted to the box, to enable the top layer to go over the bottom layer. Sizes/numbers are still to be determined.  I am quite enamored by the...

Hatches

Construction

Mounting frame.

Construction

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 rail...

Motor

Electric propulsion

Tesla motors (LDU)  Weight: 291 lbs (132 kg) Input Voltage: 240-404V DC Power: 335 kW (~450HP) to 475 kW (~636 HP) depending on configuration Torque: 450 Nm (~332 ft/lb) to 650 Nm (~480 ft/lb) depending on configuration Max RPM: 18,000 Gear ratio: 9....

Batteries

Electric propulsion

Several different options here: Tesla model 3 batteries (several, most likely) mounten under/between the chassis rails. Tesla Model S/X modules, again mounted between/under frame. The second option gives more options in terms of placement, and more flex...

Unit size

Decisions

What should the unit size be? Initial thought was 20ft, to be able to have a dishwasher, washing machine, drier and space for 'toys'. But maybe (due to the possibility of a dual-layered bed/sitting area, this could be less? Maybe a 15/16ft unit? It can be '...

Shared

Systems

There is a very cool hatch on the Bliss mobile boxes:

Example: Scania P 92HK 4x4

Truck

Long wheel base, air con, single-wheel conversion already done. Problem: The cab is too small.
