Out again this weekend. Video link attached.
I tried to show more features in the You tube video below.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7HAlUd ... xNGyh4DlOYI loved the good feng shui the moment I saw it. The interior has an open feeling and is not cramped at all. All the windows have coverings for privacy. Porthole covers, curtains etc.
Great ventilation (and views). Portholes and side windows open. There e are ventilation ports that open. This cuts down on condensation as the warm moist air rises out of the trailer. This is not new – Yurts and tepees and other living arrangements have been using this idea since we left the caves.
Bert at Vistabule is a design perfectionist and he is not afraid to experiment with new ideas.
The front window is glass custom curved to the same shape as the body. The front window is automotive glass – same as a car windshield. It won’t haze over time from elements or abrasion of traveling at 70MPH. Other windows are glass too. I think tempered safety glass.
Bert uses Airstream aluminum on the skin. It has a coating to protect the aluminum from the elements.
There is gobs of storage space and most of the doors are removable so If I wanted to put something big in the tongue box I could remove the doors. However the tongue box looks like I can hold more tongues than I could collect (some trailer humor for those scratching their heads).
I organize my stuff so the stuff I need like a pillow and sleeping bag are in the rear lower cabinets at the head board and are blocked in couch mode. Daytime stuff in in the wells and tongue box for quick access. Binoculars hiking gear.
Galley is open space design for all sorts of stuff however you want to configure it. Cooler can ride on the galley counter or inside if your prefer (or in the car.
The whole design works for me. Very flexible. Trailer exceeded all my expectations
Will do a video on the electric and solar panel. I am using a 100 watt solar panel (5 amp). On a sunny day this time of year I have plenty of power to spare. Battery is 55 amp. I don’t use many amps with my setup. Not sure about cloudy days output yet. I need more experience.
I calculate propane will last me 2 weeks at my burn rate.
I did not want A/C and I dislike generator noise. AC is available and
[email protected] will A/C it in the front or back if you like, when I visited his shop he said he could put AC on top too! He was willing to meet all my requests. More on that later.
My primary problem is work is preventing me from enjoying the fun-mobile as much as I would like to.
More later
