They are about as similar as any two North American half-tons, but a somewhat more practical design.
I really like the tied together totes idea, How my bed is supported is a bit problematic though. It's made out of 1" square tubing welded with pieces going left/right and fore/aft both top and bottom then Plywood ontop with hinges in the middle, so you can lift half the mattress at a time to get whatever is underneath.
The hinged lifting plywood thing is not real usefull but if I put in the drawers the will form a dead/hard to get to spot beside the green file cabinet. I need to get some new struts for the back door so the old ones might get re-purposed to help lift up the foot of the bed to get to this spot when wanted.
If I had time, money and tools I would make a new cupboard/pantry to replace the wooden thing and file cabinet. It would be about 13" wide which corresponds nicely with the wheel well width.
Next would be a custom bed frame a couple inches shorter so I can sit on the bed without hitting my head on the ceiling, with two large drawers and a hollow for an esky in the front. A 15-20L water-tank would occupy the dead space on the right side between pantry and wheel-well. The back end would be basically the same with general storage under the bed.
But I will settle for one or two drawers and something to replace the file cabinet if I find something cheep and suitable. Also thinking of adding some peg-board to the divider cage but I'm not sure what it would hold, perhaps pots and pans freeing up the ugly green thing for food. Either way if I live in this thing full time it is going to need a better organizing system. I am sure it will evolve over the summer.
So no ecomodding ideas?
Oh and i am going to re-do the curtains for sure. Do you guys think it would make a big difference if there is a light colour or a dark one facing the window? It would be nice if it stayed a little cooler in the sun.
