My goals:
- be able to sleep in the car, 2 persons
- form follows function, it does not have to be pretty if it is functional
- minimalism: do not waste space
- "build your SpaceShuttle on your kitchen table", everything should be either buildable in the workshop or deliverable easily through aluminium profile (Item) or iron sheet cnc providers.
- Fusion 360 it is for construction, FreeCAD for FEM.
- private project, not for commercial use. I will very likely publish all the sources (Fusion 360 files) under some CC license.
Here is where I am. The drawer stainless steel 2mm pieces are ordered (500 Euro). The linear rails are Accuride 3308 (another 340 Euro for all 4), but I could move to DZ3507 (90kg) or DS3557 (82kg) if the 3308 are too weak (65kg).
The fridge is an Engel MT35. We happen to have one.
The aluminium profiles are 30mm Item.
The bed construction is not finished yet. With what you see, I could get to nearly 2m. No need for that as we are both much shorter.
One important goal was to use Euroboxes because there are easily available, cheap and there are plenty of sizes, and to have space for 80x60x42cm (on the picture you see 60x40x12 and 40x30x22). This is what dominated linear rail choice. With the usual 19mm ones, it would not work. Between the wheel covers there is a little more than 105cm only. So I need smaller rails, 12.7mm.
